BS1710 Premium 8 Year Pipe Marking Roll - Diesel Fuel Supply
PIPE MARKER ROLLS FOR PIPES CARRYING DIESEL FUEL SUPPLY
Pipe marking is a UK legal requirement. UK Pipes must be marked in accordance with BS1710 (2014); to be legally compliant. If you wish to understand more please see our guide on British Standard Pipe Marking.
Our premium pipe marking rolls are designed to be compliant with BS1710 and have all the required information completely integrated into a single self adhesive label roll. 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.
We use high quality vinyl and laminate for extra protection and longevity - the white gloss 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 to last for up to 8 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 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.
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.

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.
