Hydrant Marker, 5 ft., Fiberglss, White/Red

Description

Product Overview

The TAPCO Hydrant Marker is engineered to deliver unmistakable visual identification for fire hydrants, water mains, and related pipe infrastructure in demanding industrial and commercial settings. Constructed from high‑grade fiberglass, the marker combines lightweight strength with resistance to corrosion, UV exposure, and impact, ensuring a service life that far exceeds standard plastic alternatives. Measuring a full five feet in height, the marker presents a bold white background with a vivid red accent that meets ANSI and OSHA color‑coding standards for emergency equipment. The flat bracket incorporates a spring‑loaded mechanism that allows the marker to snap securely onto a pipe without the need for tools or fasteners, simplifying installation and reducing labor costs. Detailed specifications include a 3/8″ diameter attachment point, a compact 60 × 3 × 1 inch profile, and a total weight of just two pounds, making it easy to handle and position precisely where visibility is most critical.

Usage

Designed for a broad range of environments, the TAPCO Hydrant Marker excels in municipal water treatment facilities, industrial plants, construction sites, and any location where rapid identification of hydrant locations is essential for safety and operational efficiency. The marker’s high‑visibility color scheme remains bright and legible even under harsh lighting conditions, such as direct sunlight, fog, or nighttime illumination when paired with auxiliary lighting. Its fiberglass composition resists chemical spills, oil, and abrasive cleaning agents commonly encountered in industrial settings, ensuring the marker retains its appearance and functionality over years of exposure. Installation is straightforward: the spring‑loaded bracket slides onto the pipe, and the marker snaps into place, providing an instant visual cue for maintenance crews, emergency responders, and facility managers. The marker is also suitable for temporary installations during construction or renovation projects, where quick removal and re‑deployment may be required without damaging the underlying pipe surface.

FAQ

What pipe sizes are compatible with the marker?

The marker’s bracket is designed for a 3/8″ diameter attachment point, which fits standard pipe sizes used in most municipal and industrial applications. For larger or non‑standard pipes, adapters are available upon request.

Can the marker be painted or customized?

While the factory‑finished white/red color scheme meets most safety standards, the fiberglass surface can be painted with approved industrial coatings if a different color is required for specific site regulations. However, any modifications may affect compliance, so we recommend consulting with a safety professional before altering the finish.

Is the marker suitable for outdoor use in extreme climates?

Yes. The fiberglass material is engineered to withstand temperature extremes from -40 °F to 140 °F, as well as exposure to rain, snow, and intense sunlight. The color pigments are UV‑stable, ensuring the marker remains bright and legible over many years.

How does the spring‑loaded bracket work?

The bracket contains a built‑in spring that compresses when placed over the pipe. Once released, the spring expands, locking the marker securely in place without the need for bolts or clamps. This mechanism provides a fast, repeatable installation process while maintaining a firm grip even in high‑vibration environments.

What warranty does TAPCO offer for this product?

TAPCO provides a limited one‑year warranty covering manufacturing defects and material failures. Should any issue arise within the warranty period, contact our support team for a replacement or repair solution.
