This yellow ochre pipe identification tape marks gas pipework with black "GAS" text repeated every 10mm, meeting the identification requirements set out in BS 1710 and IGEM/UP/2 Edition 3. Gas Safe Register Technical Bulletin 031 confirms that gas pipes must be clearly identified, either by painting them yellow ochre or by applying gas marker tape — this tape satisfies that requirement without needing to paint the pipe.
It's made from vinyl with a polypropylene overlaminate, giving resistance to moisture, abrasion and chemicals, so it holds up in plant rooms, meter cupboards and other environments where tapes are prone to degrading. It's self-adhesive, needing no additional fixings, and suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. At 38mm wide with a 33m roll length and 5mm letter height, one roll covers multiple identification points across an installation.
Key Features & Benefits
Meets BS 1710 and IGEM/UP/2 Requirements: Yellow ochre background with black text is the correct identification colour for gas pipework, as required by Gas Safe Register best practice.
"GAS" Text Every 10mm: Continuous repeat text keeps identification readable regardless of tape width or rotation around the pipe.
Polypropylene Overlaminate: Protects against moisture, abrasion and chemicals, suited to plant rooms, meter cupboards and exposed outdoor pipework.
Self-Adhesive: Sticks directly to the pipe surface with no additional fixings required.
38mm Wide, 5mm Letter Height: A practical size for standard gas pipe identification.
33m Roll: Enough for multiple identification points from a single roll.
Indoor and Outdoor Use: Suitable across a range of installation environments.
Where to Apply (BS 1710 Guidance)
Both sides of all valves and service appliances on the gas pipe.
Both sides of wall, floor and bulkhead penetrations.
At least once in each room or space the pipe passes through.
At regular intervals along long pipe runs.
Ensure the pipe surface is clean and dry before applying, and overlap the tape by at least 20mm on the back of the pipe for a secure wrap.
Ideal For
Gas Safe registered engineers labelling gas pipework to IGEM/UP/2 and BS 1710.
Commercial and industrial gas installations, including plant rooms, meter rooms and boiler houses.
Residential gas pipework identification under floors, in utility rooms and service voids.
New installation and retrofit identification.
Why Buy This Product?
Applying identification tape is a faster and less disruptive way to meet BS 1710 and IGEM/UP/2 requirements than fully painting a pipe yellow ochre, and the polypropylene overlaminate means the tape stays legible in plant rooms and other environments where standard labels degrade quickly. Repeated "GAS" text every 10mm keeps the pipe identifiable from any angle, and a single 33m roll covers multiple identification points across an installation.
