Underground Warning Tape for marking buried services including underground cables and pipes - premium grade underground warning tape with ENATS 12-23 approval for cable and pipe marking.

UK Tapes Ltd: UKT05OIL from the safety tape specialists

Fuel supply pipes should be buried at least 300mm clear of other underground services such as water and electricity. Joints should be avoided in buried pipework, if possible. If joints need to be made, they should be within an inspection chamber. Entry into buildings of compacted sand is laid on the bottom of the trench, the fuel supply pipe positioned, and a further 40mm of compacted sand is laid above the pipeThe purpose of the labelled pipe is indicated by pipe marking tape. It is required by law to label any pipes carrying hazardous materials with the substance name and the appropriate colour code. All pipeline identification tapes are made of 90 micron self-adhesive vinyl with a rubber-based adhesive and a clear polypropylene surface laminate. Our pipe tape has an operating temperature range of -10°Cto +50°C. OILS: Oils, including fuels and hydraulic or transformer fluids, need to be labeled with a brown outer ring. Directly buried fuel supply pipes should be protected against the risk of accidental damage caused by digging. The recommended installation method is as follows: entriforce Stokbord underground cable protection covers are heavy duty cable protection covers designed to withstand damage and protect HV cables from plant and hand tools - suitable for underground high voltage cable protection (22kV, 33kV, 66kV, 132kV and up to 400kV).

The tape serves the dual purpose of (1) allowing location from above ground and (2) providing a visual warning to prevent third party damage Domestic fuel supply pipes are usually made of plastic-coated soft copper tubing that can be easily manipulated.. Plastic pipe systems are also available but must only be used below ground and outside of buildings. Fittings and jointing materials must be suitable for the type of pipe and fuel being used. Liquid fuel supply systems Material – Linear low density polyethylene Lead free pigments with virgin grade film Soil tolerance from pH 2.5 to pH 11.0 inclusiveHow would I know if I need to use pipe marking tapes?Pipe marking signs are an essential part of dealing with potential safety issues, pipes that are exposed specifically above ground are a risk that must be highlighted using marking tape. The meaning behind this is due to the safety of those working around the pipes to enable the pipes to be visible and therefore less dangerous. When it comes to industrial piping, workers need a way to accurately and consistently identify the hazards they may face. Furthermore, BS 1710 states that pipe labeling is required if the pipes are actively carrying fluids or gases. What are the different pipe marking tapes available?Each pipe must be clearly identified using the correct pipe identification banding. Each tape is different depending on what is within the pipe, the most common are: REFRIGERANTS: Refrigerants have several subcategories, including things like ammonia, and should be indicated by ochre rings (a yellow/maize color).

In 2021, oil (kerosene) continues to be the most widely used fuel in off-grid homes. However, to reflect that a renewable liquid fuel, such as HVO may soon be available (see our future heating section) we have used the term liquid fuel in this guide to include both oil and low carbon liquid fuels.
