Pipe Color Code

The document outlines the color coding standards for piping according to the National Building Code. It lists the color, material piped, identification, division, and designation. For example, red indicates carbon dioxide or fire service water, orange indicates acetylene or gasoline, and yellow indicates high pressure air, steam, or vacuum systems. Green indicates low pressure air, argon, or cold water systems. The color coding helps identify the content and specifications of different piping systems to aid in construction and maintenance.
