They identify compressed air lines, pneumatic systems, air quality requirements and related equipment. In facilities where multiple gas lines run alongside each other these labels make sure workers know exactly what is flowing through a line before they open a valve or connect a fitting.

Manufacturing plants, auto repair shops, facilities with pneumatic tools, food and beverage production lines where food-grade air is required, laboratories, medical facilities using compressed air systems and any operation with dedicated compressed air infrastructure.

On compressed air lines and fittings on air compressor equipment, on pneumatic tool connection points on air dryers and filters and at any junction where air lines branch or where the air quality specification changes. The label should be at eye level and visible from the natural approach direction.

OSHA 29 CFR 1910.144 covers the color coding of hazards. ANSI A13.1 is the standard for pipe marking. Covers compressed air lines along with other piping systems. Many facilities follow ANSI A13.1 to identify pipe contents flow direction and hazard level across their systems.

For pipe marking applications indicating flow direction alongside the contents label is practice and is part of the ANSI A13.1 recommendation. It helps maintenance workers trace lines and troubleshoot systems faster without having to follow a pipe from source to end.

Yes. The vinyl material handles the surface conditions on compressed air piping, including condensation, mild heat and occasional contact, with compressor oils. Clean the pipe surface before applying for the bond.

Yes. Labeling food-grade air lines distinctly from compressed air lines is an important part of preventing cross-contamination in food and beverage facilities. A labeled food-grade air supply line removes any ambiguity at the connection point.
