This yellow ochre pipe identification tape marks gas pipework with black "GAS" text repeated every 16mm, 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 50mm wide with a 33m roll length and 16mm letter height, this is the wider option in the range, giving larger, more visible lettering than the 38mm tape.
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.
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. At 50mm wide with 16mm lettering, this version offers better visibility than the narrower 38mm tape, which is useful on larger diameter pipework or where identification needs to be read from further away.
