Heating Equip, Except Elec & Warm Air; & Plumbing Fixtures

SIC 3430 covers manufacturers and distributors of non-electric heating equipment—such as hydronic boilers, cast-iron radiators, baseboard units, valves, and controls—and plumbing fixtures including faucets, toilets, tubs, and fittings sold into residential, commercial, and industrial projects through HVAC/plumbing contractors, wholesalers, and big-box or specialty retailers. Demand follows construction and renovation cycles, and margins hinge on metal input costs and supply chain reliability. Compliance with EPA and Department of Energy efficiency standards, lead-free and water-conservation rules, evolving refrigerant and decarbonization policies, and local building codes remains a persistent risk alongside warranty liabilities. In 2024-2025, the sector is leaning into high-efficiency condensing boilers, smart controls, leak-detection and water-monitoring add-ons, low-flow and touchless fixtures, and greener materials, while navigating elevated borrowing costs and code-driven retrofits. Competitive differentiation centers on reliability, installation simplicity, and aftermarket parts networks.
