Installation

Western Safety Sign Pipe Markers meet ASME/ANSI A13.1-2015 standards. Pipe markers should be readily visible from the point of normal approach. Our pipe markers instantly tell what you need to know about pipe contents, direction of flow, and potential hazards

To meet ASME/ANSI A13.1-2015 standards, pipes shall be marked adjacent to all changes in directions, adjacent to all valves and flanges, at 25-50 foot intervals on straight runs, and both sides of floor or wall penetrations.
