How to choose a valve tag
A good valve tag is easy to read, hard-wearing, and quick to match to your records. A few things to decide:
What to engrave — a valve number or reference, the service or medium, an open/close direction, or a sequential number across a run
Material — stainless steel for the toughest, washdown, and outdoor areas; anodised aluminium for a lighter metal tag with colour; engraved plastic for a low-cost, colour-coded option
Colour coding — use the tag or text colour to group valves by system or service, so they're identified at a glance
Size — from small 30 mm tags for tight pipework up to larger tags where the text needs to be read from a distance
Fixing — ball chain, S-hook, or key ring, to suit the valve and how often it's handled
Materials
Stainless steel — the toughest choice, for washdown, outdoor, and chemical-exposed areas
Anodised aluminium — a lighter metal tag, available in colours such as black, red, blue, and gold
Engraved plastic — a low-cost, colour-coded option in a range of colours
Every tag is precision laser-engraved, in sizes from around 27 mm up to 50 mm to suit tight pipework or clearer, longer text.
Fixing options
Choose the fixing that suits the valve and how often it's handled:
Ball chain — quick to loop around a valve or spindle
S-hook — easy to hang and move between fittings
Key ring — a secure, permanent-feeling fix
FAQ
What is a valve tag?
A small, durable tag fixed to a valve or pipe to identify it — typically showing a valve number, the service or medium, and sometimes an open/close direction.
Which material should I choose?
Stainless steel for the toughest, washdown, and outdoor conditions; anodised aluminium for a lighter metal tag available in colours; and engraved plastic for a low-cost, colour-coded option.
Can I colour-code my valve tags?
Yes. Engraved plastic and anodised aluminium come in a range of colours, so you can group valves by system or service and identify them at a glance.
Can I have sequential or serial numbers?
Yes. We can produce sequential numbering across a set of tags, as well as custom codes, text, and symbols.
How do valve tags attach?
Choose a ball chain, an S-hook, or a key ring — whichever suits the valve and how often it's handled.
What sizes are available?
From small 30 mm tags for tight pipework up to larger tags for longer text or greater visibility. You set the exact size on the design page.
Can I order valve tags in bulk for a site?
Yes. We handle bulk and business orders every day, with sequential numbering across a set and discounts on larger quantities. Request a quote to get started.
