BS1710 Pipe Marking Roll - Diesel Fuel Supply
PIPE MARKER ROLLS FOR PIPES CARRYING DIESEL FUEL SUPPLY
From only £3.19 per metre
Pipe marking is a UK legal requirement. UK Pipes must be marked to be legally compliant. Marking in accordance with BS1710 (2014) is the most widely recognised standard in the UK and ensures you meet the requirement; If you wish to understand more please see our Guide on BS1710 British Standard Pipe Marking.

Our pipe marking rolls are designed to be compliant with BS1710 and have all the required information completely integrated into self adhesive roll style markers. Each roll contains the direction of flow, textual description, and colour coding as laid out in the British Standards.
Our BS1710 Pipe Coding rolls are designed so that the label can be oriented in any direction to indicate flow and text will still be right-readable as it wraps around the circumference of the pipe.
We use high quality vinyl and laminate for extra protection and longevity - the white polymeric vinyl that we use, has been specifically engineered to adhere to LSE (low surface energy) substrates and/or substrates with a low surface temperature. It is designed for mainly indoor conditions but has been protected to last for 5+ Years outdoors
under normal atmospheric conditions.
We offer rolls with no text or arrows and just the colour coding bands. This allows you to custom print your own text & arrow labels for your own specific needs. Be aware that these rolls will not be compliant to BS1710 by themselves; you absolutely must show flow direction and mark the text as laid out in the BS1710 standards.
| Bespoke Text: If the text you require is not available; choose 'Bespoke Text' in the drop down menu and tell us your exact required text in the order comments as you check out. |
Choosing the correct colour coded label
• The Brown coloured label denotes that this pipe is carrying Oils or Combustible Liquids
•
The white band
specifically denotes diesel fuel, as required for distinguishing different oils specifically in building services.
In other applications such as industrial processes, it is not required, but it is handy to be able to distinguish.
If ALL
of the above match your intended use then this label is correctly colour coded for your purpose.
Label Material Technical Data

If outdoor longevity and superior adhesion is important to your project then please see our premium pipe marker
Choosing correct size and quantity
BS 1710 Standards stipulate the size of colour banding based on the diameter of pipe. To be legally compliant you must choose the correct size.
Pipe Diameters Less than
50mm= 130mm Banding Label Width
Pipe Diameters 50mm - 100mm =
275mm Banding Label Width
Pipe Diameters Over 100mm= 450mm Banding Label Width
Make sure you identify all the positions in your piping system at which you will need to apply a pipe marker and note the pipe's diameters. Using the pipe diameter; work out the circumference by multiplying by 3.14. This is how much of the pipe marking roll is required to go around the pipe at each labelling point, this can then be multiplied by the amount points that require labelling.
Design & Repeat Information
Some choose to cut each repetition from the roll to create individual label markers.
| Individual Marker Height approx | Approx Number of Markers per Metre | |
| 130mm Marker | Single Line Text = 11.7mm | 85 Total (50% Left / 50% Right) |
| Double Line Text = 23.4mm | 42 Total (50% Left / 50% Right) | |
| 275mm Marker | Single Line Text = 35.8mm | 27 Total (50% Left / 50% Right) |
| Double Line Text = 35.8mm | 27 Total (50% Left / 50% Right) | |
| 450mm Marker | Single Line Text = 65.7mm | 15 Total (50% Left / 50% Right) |
| Double Line Text = 65.7mm | 15 Total (50% Left / 50% Right) |
• Each left and right marker can be used in pairs to mark the same pipe on opposite sides
• Text will be split onto 2 lines on the 130mm marker if over 10 letters, effectively halving the number of markers but doubling the marker height.
• Individual pre-cut marker packs are available.
