Plumbing Fittings & Supports
The Google product category ID for Plumbing Fittings & Supports is 1810. It sits under Plumbing and has 10 subcategories of its own, so it is a predefined value you can send as it stands — but one of those 10 is usually the closer answer, and an interior category fits when a product genuinely spans the ones below.

Using this value
Either form of this value goes in the google_product_category attribute: the numeric ID (1810) or the full path ("Hardware > Plumbing > Plumbing Fittings & Supports"). 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. Before sending it, check whether one of the 10 subcategories below fits — a narrower category groups the product with fewer, closer things.
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.

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, 1810, is the form that does not depend on how the file is quoted.

Questions about Plumbing Fittings & Supports
What is the Google product category ID for Plumbing Fittings & Supports?
1810. The full path, "Hardware > Plumbing > Plumbing Fittings & Supports", 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.
Should I use Plumbing Fittings & Supports or one of its subcategories?
Prefer a subcategory when one fits: Plumbing Fittings & Supports has 10 directly below it, starting with Gaskets & O-Rings (6732), In-Wall Carriers & Mounting Frames (499697), Nozzles (2068), and 10 in total further down. 1810 is itself a predefined value, so an interior category is not an error — it just groups the product more broadly than a subcategory would.
Where does Plumbing Fittings & Supports sit in the taxonomy?
At level 3, under Plumbing (133). The chain from the top is Hardware → Plumbing → Plumbing Fittings & Supports. If your product does not belong under Plumbing, it does not belong here either — check the level above before going deeper.
What should I use if Plumbing Fittings & Supports is not quite right?
Look across the rest of Plumbing first — there are 9 other categories at this level: Plumbing Fixture Hardware & Parts (504635), Plumbing Fixtures (1673), Plumbing Hoses & Supply Lines (2570), Plumbing Pipes (2216), Plumbing Repair Kits (2203), Water Dispensing & Filtration (2273), and 3 more. If none of them fits either, the problem is higher up: go back to Plumbing (133) and pick a different branch from there rather than settling for the closest thing on this one.
How much more specific can I get than Plumbing Fittings & Supports?
1 level more. The longest route down from Plumbing Fittings & Supports is Plumbing Fittings & Supports > Gaskets & O-Rings, ending at Gaskets & O-Rings (6732) on level 4. Not every branch below Plumbing Fittings & Supports runs that far, so the category that fits your product may stop earlier than this one does.
How big is Plumbing Fittings & Supports compared with the categories next to it?
It is third largest of the 10 at its level, carrying 10 categories below it. A bigger category is not a better one — it just means more of the taxonomy is still open below you after you pick it.
