Yellow gas warning identity tape, 50mm wide and 33m long. Used to identify gas pipework and services during installation and maintenance. A simple, low-cost way to keep pipework identification compliant and clear.
Gas warning identity tape is one of those products that costs next to nothing and can save a serious amount of confusion — or worse — down the line. This roll is 50mm wide and 33m long, giving you plenty of coverage for marking up gas pipework during installation, maintenance, or any time a pipe run needs to be clearly identified. The yellow colouring and warning text make it instantly recognisable to anyone working on or near the services, which is exactly the point.
Gas pipework identification isn’t just good practice, it’s expected on any properly run job. Whether you’re a gas engineer, plumber, or multi-trade contractor working on a commercial or domestic installation, wrapping the relevant pipework with gas warning identity tape takes seconds and leaves no ambiguity about what’s running through that pipe. Future engineers working on the system will thank you. Your building control inspector probably will too.
Where Gas Warning Identity Tape Gets Used
You’ll find this tape on gas supply pipes in domestic properties, commercial kitchens, plant rooms, and industrial sites. It’s commonly applied at intervals along a pipe run, particularly where pipework passes through walls, floors, or ceiling voids where the service might not be immediately obvious to someone who didn’t install it. It’s also used at junction points, valve locations, and meter connections to provide a clear visual reference at a glance.
The 50mm width gives enough surface area for the text and colour coding to be clearly visible without swamping the pipe or looking untidy. At 33m per roll, you’ve got enough tape to cover a full domestic installation or a decent stretch of commercial pipework without running short mid-job.
It’s a straightforward product, but it does a job that genuinely matters. Gas pipework that isn’t properly identified creates real risk for anyone working on the building in future — and at this price, there’s no sensible reason not to use it.
Pro Tip: Apply the tape at regular intervals of no more than 1 metre along a run, and always at both sides of a wall or floor penetration so the pipe is identified on both faces.
Gas warning identity tape is applied directly to gas pipework to identify the service type to anyone working on or near the installation. It's used across domestic, commercial, and light industrial settings wherever gas supply pipes are installed or maintained. Common locations include boiler plant rooms, under-floor pipe runs, commercial kitchen supplies, meter cupboards, and any buried or concealed pipework where the service needs to be clearly labelled at access points.

Key Specifications
Width: 50mm
Length: 33m per roll
Colour: Yellow with gas warning text
Self-adhesive backing
Not suitable for: Not a substitute for pressure testing, leak detection, or any safety certification process. Should not be used to identify other services such as water or electrics where the colour coding would be misleading.
Clean and dry the pipe surface before applying the tape to ensure the adhesive bonds properly. Wrap the tape around the pipe at regular intervals, particularly at either side of wall and floor penetrations, near valves, and at any point where the pipe enters or exits a void. Apply with enough tension to sit flush against the pipe without gaps or lifting edges.
Ensure the pipe surface is clean, dry, and free from grease or dust before application.
Cut or tear the required length of tape from the roll.
Wrap the tape firmly around the pipe, overlapping slightly to ensure full coverage of the warning text.
Apply at regular intervals along the pipe run, at a maximum of 1 metre apart.
Always apply at both sides of any wall, floor, or ceiling penetration.
Mark valve locations, meter connections, and junction points as a priority.
Is this tape suitable for use on outdoor or exposed pipework?
It's primarily intended for indoor pipework identification. For exposed or outdoor locations, check the tape's UV and weather resistance before relying on it long-term, as adhesion and print legibility can degrade with prolonged exposure to sunlight and moisture.
How far apart should gas warning identity tape be applied along a pipe run?
As a general guide, apply at intervals of no more than 1 metre, at any point where the pipe changes direction, passes through a structural element, or connects to a valve or fitting. This ensures the service is identifiable wherever someone might access the pipework.
The tape uses a yellow self-adhesive backing printed with gas warning text, conforming to standard colour coding conventions for gas services. At 50mm wide and 33m long, the roll offers practical coverage for most installation tasks. The adhesive is designed to bond to clean metal and plastic pipe surfaces without specialist preparation under normal indoor conditions.
