Using this value
Either form of this value goes in the google_product_category attribute: the numeric ID (1425) or the full path ("Hardware > Plumbing > Plumbing Fixture Hardware & Parts > Toilet & Bidet Accessories > Ballcocks & Flappers"). Both are predefined values for the same category. The ID is the sturdier of the two, because renaming any segment above this one changes the path text and leaves the number alone.
Bear in mind that google_product_category is an optional attribute. Google assigns a category automatically, and your value is treated as a signal rather than an override. When an override actually applies.

Either row below is accepted. The first is the one to send.
| id | title | google_product_category |

| SKU-1001 | Your product title | 1425 |
| SKU-1001 | Your product title | Hardware > Plumbing > Plumbing Fixture Hardware & Parts > Toilet & Bidet Accessories > Ballcocks & Flappers |
This path has no comma, so an unquoted cell holds it as it stands — which is not true of every category in the taxonomy. The numeric ID, 1425, is the form that does not depend on how the file is quoted.
Questions about Ballcocks & Flappers
What is the Google product category ID for Ballcocks & Flappers?
1425. The full path, "Hardware > Plumbing > Plumbing Fixture Hardware & Parts > Toilet & Bidet Accessories > Ballcocks & Flappers", is the same category written the other way. The ID is shorter, and renaming a segment above this one changes the path text while leaving the number alone.
Is anything more specific than Ballcocks & Flappers available?
No. Ballcocks & Flappers is a leaf of Google's taxonomy at level 5, so 1425 is the most precise value this branch offers. If it does not describe your product closely enough, the answer is a different branch, not a deeper one.
Where does Ballcocks & Flappers sit in the taxonomy?
At level 5, under Toilet & Bidet Accessories (2691). The chain from the top is Hardware → Plumbing → Plumbing Fixture Hardware & Parts → Toilet & Bidet Accessories → Ballcocks & Flappers. If your product does not belong under Toilet & Bidet Accessories, it does not belong here either — check the level above before going deeper.
What should I use if Ballcocks & Flappers is not quite right?

If none of them fits either, the problem is higher up: go back to Toilet & Bidet Accessories (2691) and pick a different branch from there rather than settling for the closest thing on this one.
