This yellow ochre pipe identification tape marks LPG pipework with black "LPG" text repeated every 32mm, at a larger 16mm (5/8") letter height than the equivalent GAS tape. It's used the same way as the GAS version, but the bigger text makes it easier to read from a distance — useful for commercial LPG installations, mobile catering units, large plant rooms and larger pipe diameters where the smaller GAS-tape text would be harder to make out.
IGEM/UP/2 requires that fuel gas pipework, including LPG, be clearly identified, and this tape meets that requirement without needing to paint the pipe. It's made from vinyl with a polypropylene overlaminate for resistance to moisture, abrasion and chemicals, and is self-adhesive for direct application to the pipe surface. At 38mm wide with a 33m roll, one roll covers multiple identification points.
Key Features & Benefits
Meets BS 1710 and IGEM/UP/2 LPG Requirements: Yellow ochre background with black text is the correct identification for LPG pipework.
16mm (5/8") Letter Height: Larger text than the GAS version (5mm), for higher visibility on commercial LPG installations and larger pipes.
"LPG" Text Every 32mm: Readable from any rotation around the pipe.
Polypropylene Overlaminate: Protects against moisture, abrasion and chemicals, suited to outdoor LPG installations, plant rooms and mobile catering environments.
Self-Adhesive: Sticks directly to the pipe surface with no additional fixings required.
38mm Wide, 33m Roll: Multiple identification points from a single roll.
Indoor and Outdoor Use: Suitable for caravans, motorhomes, commercial static LPG systems and outdoor plant rooms.

At least once in each room or space the pipe passes through.
At regular intervals along long pipe runs.

GAS Tape vs LPG Tape — Which Do I Need?
GAS Tape (38mm x 33m): "GAS" text, 5mm letter height, repeated every 10mm. For natural gas pipework.
LPG Tape (38mm x 33m — this product): "LPG" text, 16mm letter height, repeated every 32mm. For LPG (propane and butane) pipework, with larger, bolder text.
Why Buy This Product?
The larger 16mm lettering is the main reason to choose this over the standard GAS tape for LPG installations — it stays readable from a greater distance, which matters on larger pipe diameters or in bigger plant rooms and commercial catering setups. The polypropylene overlaminate keeps the tape legible in environments where standard labels tend to degrade, and applying tape meets BS 1710 and IGEM/UP/2 identification requirements without needing to paint the pipe.
