Which code does this activity belong in?
The boundary of NAICS 332919 separates general-purpose metal valves and fittings from specialized industrial and plumbing applications. Establishments manufacturing industrial-type valves such as ball, butterfly, gate, and globe valves belong in Industrial Valve Manufacturing, while those producing fluid power valves and hydraulic hose fittings are classified in Fluid Power Valve and Hose Fitting Manufacturing. Manufacturers of plumbing fixture fittings and trim including faucets and flush valves are classified in Plumbing Fixture Fitting and Trim Manufacturing. NAICS 332919 covers the remaining metal valve and fitting producers, such as those making aerosol valves, lawn sprinklers, and check valves for general plumbing use.
