Definition

What Are Valve Tags?

Valve tags are durable identification tags attached to valves so maintenance teams can identify system, location, service, sequence, and shutoff function. Tags may be chained, wired, screwed, or tied to the valve depending on the environment. Engraved phenolic and lamacoid-style valve tags are used when paper, printed plastic, or handwritten markings are not durable enough for long-term facility maintenance.

Valve tag formats we produce

Each tag can be cut, engraved, drilled, chained, and grouped to match the schedule.

Facility packages

Large valve-tag sets packaged by mechanical room, riser, floor, system, or installation phase.

Problems valve tags solve

Unidentified shutoffs

Permanent valve tags reduce confusion during maintenance, shutdowns, inspections, and emergencies.

Schedules that do not match the field

Tags produced from the active schedule help align the physical system with facility documentation.

Short-lived printed tags

Engraved tags outlast printed plastic or paper tags in mechanical rooms and industrial environments.

Slow installation

Grouped packaging lets installers pull tags by system or room instead of sorting a mixed box onsite.

Our Process

How valve tag orders move through production

The source valve schedule drives the order.

STEP 01

Send the valve schedule. Upload a spreadsheet, PDF, pipe list, drawing, or photo set.

STEP 02

Confirm the tag format. We confirm shape, size, color, hole, chain, material, quantity, and sequence.

STEP 03

Review proof details. Complex or large sets can be proofed before engraving.

STEP 04

Engrave and drill. Tags are cut, engraved, drilled, and inspected in-house.

STEP 05

Sort the package. Finished tags can be grouped by system, room, floor, or installation sequence.

STEP 06

Ship nationwide. Orders ship from Kennesaw, Georgia, with rush availability confirmed before production.

Why engraved valve tags work

Readable for years

Engraved text is permanent and easier to maintain than printed or handwritten tags.

Matches the schedule

Tags can be produced directly from your valve schedule or asset list.

Organized for installation

Large orders can ship sorted by system, floor, room, or installation phase.

Quote and ordering details for valve tags

For valve tag pricing, send the valve schedule, pipe list, system map, asset list, spreadsheet, drawing, or clear photos. Include tag number, service, location, system, color, tag size, hole or chain requirement, and any grouping needed for installation.

Cost depends on tag size, material, color pair, engraving complexity, hole or chain configuration, quantity, and sorting requirements. A structured valve schedule produces the most accurate quote because the tag text and sequence can move directly into the engraving workflow.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions

Valve tags are durable identification tags attached to valves so maintenance teams can identify the valve number, system, location, service, and shutoff function.

Yes. Send the valve schedule, spreadsheet, pipe list, drawing, or existing tag photos. Structured files help prevent retyping and make it easier to sort tags by system or location.

Common options include engraved phenolic or lamacoid-style plastic for durable facility identification. Material is confirmed during quoting based on the environment, attachment method, and project specification.

Yes. Valve tags can include chain holes, tie holes, drilled mounting holes, or custom attachment layouts. Chains or attachment hardware can be quoted when required.

Yes. Valve tags can be grouped or color-coded by water, steam, gas, HVAC, process, fire protection, or other facility systems when the schedule provides the system assignments.

Cost depends on size, material, color pair, quantity, hole or chain configuration, engraving complexity, and sorting requirements. Send the valve schedule for an itemized quote.
