Radiators and parts thereof; for central heating, (not electrically heated), of cast iron

HS code 732211 covers radiators and their parts made of cast iron, used for central heating systems. This industry plays a crucial role in the construction and HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) sectors, providing essential components for efficient and reliable heating solutions in residential, commercial, and industrial buildings. As a key part of the broader 732200 Radiators for central heating, not electrically heated, and parts thereof industry, this code represents a significant segment of the global heating equipment market.

The production of cast iron radiators and their parts typically involves a multi-step manufacturing process. This includes melting and casting the raw iron, followed by machining, assembly, and finishing operations. Specialized foundry techniques are used to ensure the radiators meet quality standards and performance requirements for central heating systems.

The main inputs for the 732211 industry include raw cast iron, as well as various components such as valves, fittings, and accessories. Specialized machinery and equipment for the casting, machining, and assembly processes are also essential inputs. Additionally, the industry relies on skilled labor, energy sources, and transportation infrastructure to support the manufacturing and distribution of these heating components.

The primary output of the 732211 industry is cast iron radiators and their replacement parts, which are used in central heating systems. These products are often consumed by the 732200 Radiators for central heating, not electrically heated, and parts thereof industry, as well as the broader 732100 (Stoves, ranges, grates, cookers (including those with subsidiary boilers for central heating), barbecues, braziers, gas-rings, plate warmers and similar non-electric domestic appliances, and parts thereof, of iron or steel) and 732300 (Air heaters and hot air distributors (including distributors which can also distribute fresh or conditioned air), not electrically heated, incorporating a motor-driven fan or blower; parts thereof, of iron or steel) industries.
