ANSI/ASME A13.1 Pipe Marking Reference
The Brady 7017-4-PK uses White on Blue, the ANSI/ASME A13.1 color code for Compressed Air systems. Proper pipe marking per ANSI/ASME A13.1 requires:
- Color coding by fluid class: Red = Firefighting | Orange = Toxic/Corrosive | Yellow = Flammable/Combustible/Oxidizing | Gray = Steam/Hot Water | Green = Potable/Cooling/Cold Water | Blue = Compressed Air
- Size selection by pipe OD: Style 4 (7017-4-PK) fits 0.75–2.375" OD pipes. Brady also offers this marker in additional sizes for smaller and larger diameter pipes.
- Marker placement: At valves and flanges, at penetrations through walls/floors, at direction changes, and every 25–50 ft on straight runs.
