Frequently asked questions

I distribute fittings, pipes, taps, radiators, boilers, and non-domestic HVAC components: 46.84.20?
Yes, if your catalogue covers equipment and accessories for plumbing and heating systems. For agents dealing in heating or air-conditioning equipment, see 46.15.03; for sanitary ware, compare 46.83.30.
If I also sell over the counter to private customers and small installers, does the wholesale code still apply?
For sales to end consumers or a shop open to the public, you need to compare the relevant retail code, for example 47.12.30. 46.84.20 remains appropriate for wholesale distribution to trade customers.
46.84.20 or 46.84.10 if alongside pipes and plumbing fittings I also sell screws, locks, and tools?
It depends on what predominates. 46.84.20 is for equipment and accessories for plumbing and heating systems; screws, bolts, locks, and other hardware have their own dedicated code 46.84.10. If hardware is the main part of your business, use that code.
