8481.80.10.50 - Other

This HTS category, 8481.80.10.50, encompasses "Other" hand-operated valves made of copper with a pressure rating under 850 kPa. These are appliances designed for controlling the flow of liquids or gases within piping systems, tanks, vats, and similar vessels. The broad "Other" designation signifies that these are valves not specifically enumerated in preceding sibling categories, yet still meet the general criteria of hand-operated, copper construction, and specific pressure resilience.

This classification is distinguished from its siblings by its residual nature. For instance, 8481.80.10.20 covers bath and shower faucets, and 8481.80.10.30 includes sink and lavatory faucets, both of which are specific types of plumbing fixtures. Similarly, 8481.80.10.40 pertains to supply stops, which are typically used to isolate specific fixtures or appliances. This category, 8481.80.10.50, would therefore include a wide array of other hand-operated copper valves used in various industrial, commercial, or domestic applications that do not fit the more specific descriptions of faucets or supply stops. Examples could include certain types of garden hose spigots, specialized shut-off valves for water heaters, or small control valves for appliances where a hand-operated mechanism is employed.

As a leaf node, this category does not have further subcategories. Therefore, classification into 8481.80.10.50 is determined by meeting all the preceding criteria: being a valve or similar appliance, hand-operated, constructed of copper, and possessing a pressure rating below 850 kPa, while not falling under more specific descriptions within Chapter 84.
