Subheadings
Products classified under HTS 8481.80.90
Stainless Steel Ball Valve
A quarter-turn valve using a spherical disc to control flow in pipelines, commonly used in industrial fluid systems. It falls under HTS 8481.80.90 as an other appliance for pipes and tanks, distinct from pressure-reducing or thermostatically controlled valves. Made primarily of stainless steel for corrosion resistance.
Brass Gate Valve
A linear motion valve that opens/closes via a wedge gate, ideal for on/off control in water and gas lines. Classified in HTS 8481.80.90 as other valves for pipes and tanks, not specialized for pressure or temperature control. Brass construction suits low-pressure plumbing applications.
Globe Valve for Steam Lines
A valve using a spherical body and disc for throttling flow in steam and high-pressure systems. It qualifies under HTS 8481.80.90 as other pipe appliances, excluding automatic control types. Typically cast iron or steel for durability in heating applications.
Check Valve Flanged Type
A one-way valve preventing backflow in piping systems using a swinging or lifting disc. Falls under HTS 8481.80.90 as other valves for tanks and pipes. Flanged ends allow bolting to industrial ducts.
Butterfly Valve Ductile Iron
A rotary valve with a disc pivoting on a shaft for flow regulation in HVAC and water systems. Classified HTS 8481.80.90 for other tank/pipe appliances. Ductile iron body withstands high velocities.
Needle Valve Precision
A fine-adjustment valve using a tapered pin for metering flow in instrumentation and gas lines. Under HTS 8481.80.90 as other similar appliances for pipes. Stainless steel for precise control applications.
Plug Valve Lubricated
A cylindrical or tapered plug valve for tight shutoff in corrosive chemical lines. HTS 8481.80.90 covers this as other pipe cocks/valves. Lubricated design extends life in harsh environments.
Diaphragm Valve Sanitary
A flexible diaphragm valve for sterile processes in pharma/food lines, isolating media from body. Classifies in HTS 8481.80.90 as other tank appliances. Stainless with EPDM diaphragm for hygiene.
Foot Valve PVC
A bottom-mounted check valve in wells/pumps preventing water drainage. HTS 8481.80.90 for other pipe valves. PVC construction for cost-effective irrigation use.
Relief Valve Safety Non-Combo
A spring-loaded valve relieving excess pressure manually set, for tanks/boilers. Under HTS 8481.80.90 as other, excluding auto types. Carbon steel for general safety.
Pinch Valve Manual
Sleeve-compressing valve for slurries/abrasives without internal contact. HTS 8481.80.90 other appliances. Rubber sleeve in aluminum frame.
Sampling Valve Aseptic
Sterile port valve for biopharma sampling without contamination. HTS 8481.80.90 other. Tri-clamp SS.
Float Valve Tank Fill
Buoyancy-controlled valve for livestock waterers/reservoirs. HTS 8481.80.90 other. Plastic/brass.
Knife Gate Valve Slurry
Blade valve cutting through solids in pulp/mining. HTS 8481.80.90. SS body.
Y-Strainer Valve
Inline filter valve removing debris from fluids. HTS 8481.80.90 other. Ductile iron.
