Specifically, items classified as Plumbing Fixtures, Plumbing Fittings & Supports, or Plumbing Repair Kits must be directed to their respective categories. Similarly, general Plumbing Hoses & Supply Lines, Water Dispensing & Filtration systems, and Water Timers should not be placed in this category as they have dedicated taxonomy paths within the plumbing hierarchy.
