Which code does this activity belong in?
Industrial valve manufacturing covers establishments producing valves designed for broad industrial applications and municipal water systems, such as gate, globe, ball, and butterfly valves. The key distinction from fluid power valve manufacturing is that industrial valves operate in general industrial piping systems rather than in hydraulic or pneumatic systems. Plumbing fixture fittings manufacturing covers consumer-facing components like faucets and shower heads, while other metal valve manufacturing encompasses specialized valves for aerosols, lawn equipment, and inline heating applications that fall outside the industrial, fluid power, and plumbing fixture categories.
