About this file
This is a specification section document for the CBI HVAC and Lighting Upgrade project (Project 25-388, Section 220553) addressing identification requirements for plumbing piping and equipment. The specification establishes standards for the installation of nameplates, tags, pipe markers, and ceiling tacks throughout the plumbing system. Contractors must submit a plumbing component identification schedule detailing equipment, piping, and valves with proposed identification data including wording, symbols, letter size, and color coding. All identification products must comply with ASME A13.1 Scheme for the Identification of Piping Systems (2023 standard). The specification requires pipe markers on pipes with 3/4 inch diameter and larger, flexible or metal tags with engraved identification, and ceiling tacks color-coded by system type (yellow for plumbing equipment, green for plumbing valves, and blue for heating/cooling valves). Contractors must provide manufacturer's installation instructions and maintain project record documents identifying actual locations of tagged valves.
The specification identifies approved manufacturers for each identification component type, including Brady Corporation, Brimar Industries, Inc., Kolbi Pipe Marker Co., and Seton Identification Products, with substitutions permitted under Section 016000 Product Requirements. All nameplates must feature white letters on a black background with 1/4 inch letter height, while flexible and metal tags must accommodate up to three lines of text. Pipe markers must comply with ASME A13.1 requirements and utilize a color scheme with white text on green background for water services, including potable water, cooling water, and boiler feed water. Installation requirements include surface preparation through degreasing and cleaning, permanent adhesion using mechanical fasteners or corrosion-resistant adhesive sealed with clear lacquer, and proper alignment with pipe axes. Underground markers must be installed 6 to 8 inches below finished grade, while ceiling tacks must be positioned in the corner of lay-in panels closest to equipment.
