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 & Arrow Height	Marker Size	Qty of Legends & Arrows	Marker Style	Maximum Characters
3/4" to 2-1/4"	3/4"	8" wide	240	Small Roll	18
2-1/2" to 7-7/8"	1-1/4"	12" wide	144	Large Roll	18

Small Roll

For pipe O.D. of 3/4" to 2-1/4"
Legend Size: 3/4" High

Large Roll

For pipe O.D. of 2-1/2" to 7-7/8"
Legend Size: 1-1/4" High

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. Brimar recommends 25 ft.
