MARINE PIPE MARKING LOCATION GUIDE
Pipes must be marked in the following manner:
• For pipes 200mm in diameter or less, the label should take
up the entire circumference of the pipe
• At least once in every room
• At each point where the pipes pass through a wall, a ceiling or floor
• Close to each valve
• Within a distance of 3 to 5 meters, depending on the length of the
pipe, unless more are needed due to pipe bends or proximity to
other pipes (Sometimes local authorities will require additional markers)
• Bundled pipes should be labeled individually
• Use arrows to indicate direction of the flow (pipes with flow
in opposite directions at different times may be marked with arrows
pointing in opposite directions)
• Text can be used in addition to color to signify the content
• Color stripes should be placed perpendicular to the pipe axis
