Which code does this activity belong in?
Establishments in NAICS 332996 perform fabrication operations on metal pipes and fittings, such as cutting, threading, and bending, using purchased metal pipe as raw material. The key distinction is that these establishments work with pre-made pipe; they do not manufacture the pipe itself. Metal pipe hangers and supports, which are separate metal products used to support pipes, are classified in All Other Miscellaneous Fabricated Metal Product Manufacturing instead. This code covers the transformation of existing pipe stock through fabrication processes rather than the production of other miscellaneous metal products or components like bearings or ammunition.
