Toilet & Bidet Accessories
The Google product category ID for Toilet & Bidet Accessories is 2691. It sits under Plumbing Fixture Hardware & Parts and has 9 subcategories of its own, so it is a predefined value you can send as it stands — but one of those 9 is usually the closer answer, and an interior category fits when a product genuinely spans the ones below.

Where this sits in the taxonomy
Measured by how much sits beneath them, Toilet & Bidet Accessories is second largest of the 8 categories under Plumbing Fixture Hardware & Parts, with 9 categories below it.

Toilet & Bidet AccessoriesBallcocks & Flappers
The longest route down from here runs 1 more level, ending at Ballcocks & Flappers (1425) on level 5: Toilet & Bidet Accessories › Ballcocks & Flappers. Most branches stop sooner than that — the figure to compare it against is the seven levels Google's taxonomy allows, not the depth of the branch next door.

Using this value
Either form of this value goes in the google_product_category attribute: the numeric ID (2691) or the full path ("Hardware > Plumbing > Plumbing Fixture Hardware & Parts > Toilet & Bidet Accessories"). 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 9 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, 2691, is the form that does not depend on how the file is quoted.
What sits under Toilet & Bidet Accessories
9 subcategories. A narrower category groups the product with fewer, closer things, so prefer one of these when it fits.

Questions about Toilet & Bidet Accessories
What is the Google product category ID for Toilet & Bidet Accessories?
2691. The full path, "Hardware > Plumbing > Plumbing Fixture Hardware & Parts > Toilet & Bidet Accessories", 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 Toilet & Bidet Accessories or one of its subcategories?
Prefer a subcategory when one fits: Toilet & Bidet Accessories has 9 directly below it, starting with Ballcocks & Flappers (1425), Bidet Faucets & Sprayers (504634), Toilet & Bidet Seats (1865), and 9 in total further down. 2691 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 Toilet & Bidet Accessories sit in the taxonomy?
At level 4, under Plumbing Fixture Hardware & Parts (504635). The chain from the top is Hardware → Plumbing → Plumbing Fixture Hardware & Parts → Toilet & Bidet Accessories. If your product does not belong under Plumbing Fixture Hardware & Parts, it does not belong here either — check the level above before going deeper.
What should I use if Toilet & Bidet Accessories is not quite right?
Look across the rest of Plumbing Fixture Hardware & Parts first — there are 7 other categories at this level: Bathtub Accessories (2996), Drain Components (504637), Drains (504636), Faucet Accessories (1489), Fixture Plates (1458), Shower Parts (2206), and 1 more. If none of them fits either, the problem is higher up: go back to Plumbing Fixture Hardware & Parts (504635) 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 Toilet & Bidet Accessories?
1 level more. The longest route down from Toilet & Bidet Accessories is Toilet & Bidet Accessories > Ballcocks & Flappers, ending at Ballcocks & Flappers (1425) on level 5. Not every branch below Toilet & Bidet Accessories runs that far, so the category that fits your product may stop earlier than this one does.
How big is Toilet & Bidet Accessories compared with the categories next to it?
It is second largest of the 8 at its level, carrying 9 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.
