WAC 296-17A-2004
Classification 2004.
2004-21 Iron or steel merchants; wire rope and cable dealers
Applies to establishments engaged as iron or steel
merchants or as dealers of wire rope, cable, or metal conduit.
This classification includes the merchandising of nonferrous
metals such as, but not limited to, copper, brass, or
aluminum. This classification is distinguished from scrap
metal dealers in classification 0604 who deal primarily in
used metal as opposed to merchants in classification 2004 who
sell new goods. Iron or steel merchants receive metal in the
form of beams, sheets, plates, bars, rods, pipe, rounds,
channels, angles, tubes, or coils from the mills which they
unload with overhead cranes, and store them in their shop or
yard. Using power equipment such as shears, hacksaws, drills,
benders, and cutting torches, they are cut, sheared, and
formed to customer specifications. Wire rope and cable
dealers use coilers to wind the wire rope or cable from large
spools onto smaller spools, and use saws or other cutting
tools to cut it to length and large hydraulic presses to
attach sockets, pulleys and other hardware to wire rope to
form rigging used by the fishing, logging, and construction
industry.
This classification excludes scrap metal and junk dealers
which are to be reported separately in classification 0604,
and rebar fabricators which are to be reported separately in
classification 5209.
