A fire valve is an essential safety feature of a fuel supply installation, which will stop the supply of fuel in the event of a fire or an overheat situation occurring at the appliance. The valve should be located outside the building, before the point of entry, and be activated by a remote sensor. Existing fuel supply pipes that are not accessible outside of the building, and do not have a fire valve, can have one added at the first point where the pipe appears internally. This is not permitted on a new pipe installation, but it can improve the safety of an existing installation. Fire valves are also required for externally located appliances. Your OFTEC registered technician will be able to offer advice on the correct selection and positioning of fire valves. Annual inspection Material – Linear low density polyethylene Lead free pigments with virgin grade film Soil tolerance from pH 2.5 to pH 11.0 inclusive 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 pipe

UK Tapes Ltd: UKT05OIL from the safety tape specialists

REFRIGERANTS: Refrigerants have several subcategories, including things like ammonia, and should be indicated by ochre rings (a yellow/maize color). The tape serves the dual purpose of (1) allowing location from above ground and (2) providing a visual warning to prevent third party damageHow 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. This has led OFTEC to join forces with colleagues across the heating industry to research a low carbon liquid fuel alternative to heating oil. The fuel, called HVO, can be used as a direct replacement and offers a near 90% reduction in emissions. A Selection of hazard warning underground tapes, each available with a different caution message and colour . Pipe marking is a vital part of reassuring the health and well being of workers around pipes carrying gases, liquids or other elements that could potentially cause harm. The color of the pipe marking is specific to the element the pipe is carrying, which informs workers of the danger. OILS: Oils, including fuels and hydraulic or transformer fluids, need to be labeled with a brown outer ring.

Oil Pipeline Detectable Warning Tape - 75mm x 50M - Directa UK

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. Where a fuel supply pipe passes through the wall of a building it should be run within a sleeve, such as a larger plastic pipe. Fuel supply pipes should not be run underground directly into the interior of a building, instead the pipe should rise externally to allow a remote acting fire valve to be fitted before it enters the building. Fire valves Label Source supply a comprehensive selection of pipe marking and identification tapes, all of which are manufactured to BS1710 and BS4800standards with the recommended colour schemes and constructions. Material – Linear low density polyethylene Lead free pigments with virgin grade film Soil tolerance from pH 2.5 to pH 11.0 inclusive 100 micron grade is manufactured in accordance with ENATS 12-23 Issue 3 2013 specification.There are additional colours that can be used for pipe markings, but as they are 'user defined,' no industry-wide standard is followed. However, despite having numerous locations, a corporation should adhere to a single standard.
