In older apartment buildings keeping track of pipes, what’s in each pipe, and which valve shuts off the flow to which pipe, is difficult. Over the years pipes and valves have been added wherever they could be fit in — and documentation is minimal or nonexsistent. When there is a leak it can take several hours to find the right shutoff valve so the leak can be repaired. In the past paper tags and painting may have been used. But the tags are missing and the paint didn’t last.
But now there is a solution. Read about it in an article on the Property Management 2.0 blog: labeling and color coding pipes
The solution is a DuraLabel printer. With a DuraLabel thermal transfer printer (all DuraLabel printers are thermal transfer printers), color coding water pipes is easy – with non-fading, easily readable tags and labels that can even withstand high boiler room temperatures. DuraLabel printers make creating pipe marker labels fast and easy. Use the included DuraSuite software, fill in the blanks, and the software correctly sizes and prints your pipe label.
