description: >
When to use: identification of mechanical systems in commercial, institutional, and industrial work — pipe markers for HVAC hot/chilled/condenser water, steam, condensate, refrigerant, natural gas, fuel oil, glycol, compressed air, and process fluids; ductwork labels for supply, return, exhaust, and outside air; valve tags with numbered schedules; equipment nameplates for mechanical rooms and field-mounted equipment; flow-direction arrows; and color-coded content banding, on new construction, renovation, and fit-out.
− Not intended for: fire suppression piping and sprinkler valve signs (sync/common-work-results-fire-suppression); plumbing piping identification (sync/plumbing-piping-identification); electrical equipment and conductor identification (sync/equipment-labeling); instrument and process-loop tag numbering (sync/instrument-installation-and-tubing); insulation jacket color banding (sync/mechanical-insulation); ductwork construction (sync/hvac-ductwork); hydronic system construction (sync/hydronic-piping); egress and life-safety signage (sync/signage-and-egress-markings); and TAB data plates (sync/testing-adjusting-and-balancing).
