Galvanized tag wire bundle (1000) is designed for securely attaching inspection and identification tags to fire safety equipment. Made from durable, corrosion-resistant galvanized steel, these wires ensure long-lasting performance even in harsh environments. Ideal for use with fire extinguishers, valves, and other safety equipment. Each bundle includes 1,000 wires, providing a reliable and cost-effective tagging solution.

The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) has complex requirements for labeling the components of a fire sprinkler system. NFPA 13 contains 12 sections detailing the different signs required for a system, with many more specific information requirements for each sign. Despite this guidance, some contractors and building owners fail to install or account for all of these signs, which can cause problems beyond a code violation. Missing information can result in system damage, liability, or the worst possible outcome: a sprinkler system that fails in the event of an emergency.

In a Sprinkler Age article, John Denhardt, P.E. wrote about some of the signage problems he’s witnessed as a fire safety contractor, including one that resulted in “over $500,000 in property damage for one property owner.” The culprit? A missing sign that should have indicated the presence and location of a second control valve. “In an emergency, the control valves were not able to be turned off in a timely manner and no one on-site knew the location of the second control valve.”

The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) outlines detailed requirements for labeling fire sprinkler system components. NFPA 13 includes 12 sections specifying various signs needed for these systems, each with additional detailed information requirements. However, some contractors and building owners neglect to install or account for all necessary signage, leading to issues beyond mere code violations. Missing signs can result in system damage, increased liability, or, worst of all, a sprinkler system failure during an emergency.

In an article for Sprinkler Age, John Denhardt, P.E., highlighted signage issues he encountered as a fire safety contractor. One case involved over $500,000 in property damage due to a missing sign indicating the presence and location of a second control valve. During an emergency, on-site personnel could not locate the second control valve in time, preventing timely system shutdown.
