Insulation covers system labels or flow arrows

Labels, flow arrows, tags, and access markings still need to be readable after insulation. Relocate or expose them as directed.

Stop if

• This label/arrow will be covered by insulation. Do you want it exposed, replaced, or documented first?

Watch out

• Do not bury labels that inspectors, TAB, or service techs need.

Check

• Find labels, tags, flow arrows, and service markings before covering.
• Ask whether labels must be exposed, replaced, or photographed.
• Keep equipment/access identifiers readable for TAB, inspection, and service.
• Do not cover a UL/rated label without direction.
