Water Cooler Accessories
The Google product category ID for Water Cooler Accessories is 7118. It sits under Kitchen Appliance Accessories and has 1 subcategory of its own, so it is a predefined value you can send as it stands — but one of those 1 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, Water Cooler Accessories is eighth largest of the 33 categories under Kitchen Appliance Accessories, with 1 category below it. Size is not correctness — a small category is the right answer when it is the right answer — but it does tell you how much of the taxonomy you are still choosing between once you pick this branch.
Water Cooler AccessoriesWater Cooler Bottles
The longest route down from here runs 1 more level, ending at Water Cooler Bottles (7119) on level 5: Water Cooler Accessories › Water Cooler Bottles. 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 (7118) or the full path ("Home & Garden > Kitchen & Dining > Kitchen Appliance Accessories > Water Cooler 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 the subcategory 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.
In your feed, it looks like this
Either row below is accepted. The first is the one to send.
| id | title | google_product_category |

| SKU-1001 | Your product title | 7118 |
| SKU-1001 | Your product title | Home & Garden > Kitchen & Dining > Kitchen Appliance Accessories > Water Cooler Accessories |
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, 7118, is the form that does not depend on how the file is quoted.
What sits under Water Cooler Accessories

All 1 of them are leaves: none of the subcategories under Water Cooler Accessories continues any further, so one of those 1 names is the most specific value this branch can give you.
Questions about Water Cooler Accessories
What is the Google product category ID for Water Cooler Accessories?
7118. The full path, "Home & Garden > Kitchen & Dining > Kitchen Appliance Accessories > Water Cooler 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 Water Cooler Accessories or one of its subcategories?
Prefer a subcategory when one fits: Water Cooler Accessories has 1 directly below it, starting with Water Cooler Bottles (7119), and 1 in total further down. 7118 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 Water Cooler Accessories sit in the taxonomy?
At level 4, under Kitchen Appliance Accessories (2901). The chain from the top is Home & Garden → Kitchen & Dining → Kitchen Appliance Accessories → Water Cooler Accessories. If your product does not belong under Kitchen Appliance Accessories, it does not belong here either — check the level above before going deeper.
What should I use if Water Cooler Accessories is not quite right?
Look across the rest of Kitchen Appliance Accessories first — there are 32 other categories at this level: Breadmaker Accessories (3489), Coffee Maker & Espresso Machine Accessories (3988), Cooktop, Oven & Range Accessories (500004), Cotton Candy Machine Accessories (5076), Deep Fryer Accessories (3954), Dishwasher Parts & Accessories (3443), and 26 more. If none of them fits either, the problem is higher up: go back to Kitchen Appliance Accessories (2901) 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 Water Cooler Accessories?
1 level more. The longest route down from Water Cooler Accessories is Water Cooler Accessories > Water Cooler Bottles, ending at Water Cooler Bottles (7119) on level 5. Not every branch below Water Cooler Accessories runs that far, so the category that fits your product may stop earlier than this one does.
How big is Water Cooler Accessories compared with the categories next to it?
It is eighth largest of the 33 at its level, carrying 1 category 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.
