HVAC Marking

HVAC is an acronym for Heating, Ventilating, and Air Conditioning. It represents all the functions related to the components that add more comfort to an indoor environment. HVAC pipes offer airflow, including return air, supply air, and exhaust air, to abundantly provide comfortable air conditioning for the majority of the work environments.

Pipe Markers

According to ANSI standards, all  HVAC pipe labels must be color coded in a way that shows the usage of the pipe and the direction of flow. Textual information about the contents and hazards is also necessary. Generally, it is suggested that markers should be applied near valves, flanges and branches. They should also be applied in places where there are changes in direction or wherever pipes are passing through the walls.

Pipe Markers can be of stick-on, snap-on, tie-on, or strap-on varieties. These are made of flexible industrial vinyl or rigid PVC. The straps on pipe markers are attached using nylon ties, stainless steel ties, or stainless steel strapping.

Furnace and Ducts

After a furnace is installed or serviced the technician will apply labels and tags to the system. These will have technical and maintenance information as well as company advertising. Labels with company logo, phone number and website ensure the client is under the care of a professional HVAC mechanical company. Quality labels with “next service” dates allow for easy contact of qualified technicians for ongoing service and maintenance.

Valves

Heavy-Duty Valve Tags are commonly used on valves. Hand stamped or laser engraved brass tags are attached by a small chain to the valve. The tags can also be made of printable polypropylene; a tear resistant and chemical resistant material. These tags can be printed on demand by using your own label printer from manufacturers like Brady, Zebra, or TSC.

Desktop printers are the perfect solution for any needs regarding HVAC marking. They print industrial grade labels made with affordable, continuous vinyl material.
