Marker Size, Letter Height and Maximum Characters per Marker
The following chart shows the recommended pipe marker letter height and marker size based on the outside pipe diameter of the pipe to be identified. For pipes smaller than 3/4" and for valve identification, the use of a permanent legible tag is recommended.
| Pipe O.D. | Text Size | Marker Style | Maximum Characters |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3/4" - 1-1/4" | 1/2" | 1XSM | 22 |
| 1-1/2" - 2" | 3/4" | 1SM | 18 |
| 2-1/2" - 7-7/8" | 1-1/4" | 1 | 22 |
| 8" - 10" | 2-1/2" | 1LG | 22 |
| Over 10" | 3-1/2" | 1XLG | 22 |
Style 1XSMFor pipes with O.D. of 3/4" to 1-1/4" (19 to 32mm) |
Style 1SMFor pipes with O.D. of
1-1/2" to 2-3/8" (38 to 60mm) |
Style 1For pipes with O.D. of 2-1/2" to 7-7/8" (64 to 150mm) |
Style 1LGFor pipes with O.D. of 8" to 10" (200 to 250mm) |
Style 1XLGFor pipes with O.D. over 10" (250mm) |

Colors:
The secondary means of identification is the color code of the marker. The exact colors are contained in the ANSI Z535.1 Safety Color Code.
Color is the secondary means to identification but many times the most important. The color of the marker should be used to identify the characteristic hazard of the contents of the pipe. The following chart list the classifications shown by ANSI / ASME A13.1 2015 as the suggested color combinations for the pipe markers.

Installation Recommendations:
 Install pipe labels close to valves or flanges
|
 Install pipe labels near branches and whenever a pipe changes direction.
|
 Install pipe labels before and after all wall, floor and ceiling penetrations
|
 Install pipe labels at frequent intervals on straight pipe runs.

TAPE CALCULATOR CHART
When determining how much tape to order be aware of the following:
- Arrow Tape & Premium Banding Tape are 30 yard long while Economy Grade is 36yrd long.
- Most will apply tape on both ends of the pipe marker resulting in 2 bands per marker.
- Table Provides the quantities of bands for a specific O.D., not the quantity of markers.
- Be sure to include pipe insulation in size selection.
| Pipe Diameter O.D. | 1" | 2" | 3" | 4" | 5" | 6" | 7" | 8" | 9" | 10" | 12" |
