MARKER SIZE, LETTER HEIGHT & MAX. CHARACTERS PER MARKER CHART
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.

BACKGROUND COLOR
Color is the secondary means to identify the contents of a piping system 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 2007 as the suggested color combinations for the pipe markers.
FLUID SERVICE | COLOR COMBINATIONS |
Fire Quenching Fluids | Safety Red Background / White Legend
|
Toxic & Corrosive Fluids | Safety Orange Background / Black Legend
|
Flammable Fluids | Safety Yellow Background / Black Legend
|
Combustible Fluids | Safety Brown Background /White Legend
|
Potable, Cooling, Boiler feed, & other Water | Safety Green Background/ White Legend
|

LEGENDS & DIRECTIONAL FLOW
The standard regards the legend (wording on marker) to be the primary means of identifying the content of the pipe. The marker should give the name of the contents of the pipe in either the full name or abbreviated form. Arrows are also required to indicate the directional flow of the contents. Legends should be brief, pointed, and simple for greatest effectiveness. Contents should be identified with sufficient additional details such as temperature, pressure, etc., as are necessary to identify the hazard.
- Legends shall be installed close to valves
- Legends shall be installed near branches and whenever a pipe changes direction.
- Legends shall be installed before and after all wall, floor and ceiling penetrations.
- Legends shall be at frequent intervals on straight pipe runs. Brimar recommends 20 ft.
- Legends shall be installed on pipes to achieve the best visibility.

SafetySign.com’s advanced printing process undergoes a stringent cross-hatching test. This specifically tests the adhesion and resistance to separation of the inks from the sign. In testing, a sample from the printing process is scored and covered in adhesive tape. The tape is removed and the sample assessed for adhesion quality.
We use a three-stage process to test all of our printing processes. We print our signs using only the processes that pass all three stages, giving you the highest quality signage possible.

The text is printed in Arial Bold font.
The Access Door Pipe Marker from SafetySign.com uses this font to create a bold message that stands out in order to grab your attention, while also remaining clearly legible at the maximum safe viewing distance of the product.
