Pipe Marking & Pipe Marker Printers

Pipe identification is important for emergency personnel responding to on-sight incidents and accident prevention. Not knowing what materials are in a pipe, and the direction of flow, can result in accidents, personal injury, and damage to equipment.

Pipe Marking Accessories

Pipe Grabbers can be used to facilitate the labeling of dirty or greasy pipes. Pipe Grabbers are clear plastic sleeves that snap onto pipes and conduits to form a smooth, clean surface for label application.

Pipe Grabbers provide an easy way to label hard-to-reach pipes—simply apply the label to the sleeve in your shop. Since they can be re-used, Pipe Grabbers are also useful for temporary piping or pipes whose contents change.

Valve tags are a key component to pipe labeling and eliminating confusion and costly mistakes. Since the body of a valve offers no place for label application, valve tags offer flat surfaces for vinyl labels. They can attach to valves with zip wires or ties.

Heavy-Duty Valve Tags from DuraLabel give any 4" label supply a solid, color-coded backing for labeling tag-out valves, operating instructions, describing safety warnings or maintenance requirements.

They are available in two sizes:
• 2.25" X 3.75"
• 3.375" X 4.75"

Each comes with pre-drilled holes to hang your labels with plastic or metal ties. Heavy construction makes them ideal for hanging labels in locations where harsh and abrasive conditions are likely.

In addition to being used for labeling valves, DuraLabel valve tags are used to label other devices such as actuators, transmitters and instruments. They can be used to label plants, identify containers and label work in progress. There are used for both temporary and permanent labeling applications.
