When an application has a significant number of wires, cables, hoses, or pipes, it is important to label and identify them to indicate their purpose, function, or destination. Wire markers and pipe markers are the labeling tools to use. It is best if they are in place from the start to classify wires, should they require future maintenance. They may additionally be placed on electrical panels or control boxes to cross-reference the wires or cables themselves. There are various types of these markers, including adhesive, wrap-around, clip-on, and heat-shrinkable ones. Many are resistant to environmental factors, moisture, heat, and abrasion.
Pipe marker labels are often found in industrial and commercial buildings, such as office, manufacturing plants, and power generation facilities. They help fulfill safety and compliance regulations to protect workers. Emergency responders can identify what could be in a pipe during a crisis. Some are color coded for specific purposes, with red for fire protection, orange for toxic fluids, yellow for flammable substances, green for non-hazardous fluids, blue for compressed air or cooling water, purple for non-potable liquids, and black and white stripes for steam and similar substances.
