Description

Collection of customizable text labels and clamps to identity plumbing, gas, electrical, and other pipes in your home or workplace. Any tag (the part with the text) can be used with any clamp (the part that attaches to the pipe or other object) and can be oriented parallel to the pipe or perpendicular to it.

An assortment of predefined tags (e.g., “cold water”, “1st floor heat”, “gas to stove”, etc.) is provided, but you can also edit the text to create tags specific to your needs.

Multiple clamp sizes and types are provided - including:

  • various pipe clamps ranging from 12 to 86 millimeters (3/8" to 3")
  • wire tie clamp that can be used on any size pipe using wire (zip) ties that you provide
  • flat surface clamps for mounting with flat-head screws, pan-head screws, or double-sided tape / glue

Please see the photos for examples and details on tag/clamp usage, text customization, and naming conventions for the provided files.

Updates…

February 17, 2024: Added photos with instructions for changing text or text color in PrusaSlicer or Bambu Studio. Also added PrusaSlicer .3MF files for 12mm, 14mm, 16mm, 20mm, and 28mm pipe clamps (single instances and multiples) for Prusament ASA and Prusament PC Blend filament. While the text tags can be printed in PLA, PETG, or pretty much any filament type, clamps that are used on hot water heating system (boiler) pipes should be made with a high-temperature filament type - such as ASA, PC (PolyCarbonate), or perhaps PA (Nylon) - to avoid deformation at temperatures that can exceed 80 degrees Celsius! @CNCKitchen has a great blog post comparing filament temperature and strength differences at https://www.cnckitchen.com/blog/comparing-pla-petg-amp-asa-feat-prusament

February 13, 2024: Added slicer (.3MF) files for tags with no text for use in Bambu Studio - which does not allow editing of the text in these PrusaSlicer .3MF files. These are provided for the 40, 60, 80, and 100mm wide Generic Text Tags and are named like “pipeTag15x*-2c-NoText.3mf” - where the “*” is the tag width.

September 1, 2023: Added design (.STL) files, slicer (.3MF) files, print (.gcode) files, and photos of new tags and clamps - including:

  • 86mm pipe clamp (suitable for 3" nominal PVC plumbing pipe)
  • “heating system air intake” predefined text tag
  • “heating system EXHAUST” predefined text tag
  • “dishwasher” predefined text tag
  • photos of the previously added flat surface clamps

TIP: You can add a bit of clear RTV silicone adhesive or silicone lubricant to the clamp mounting-point if your tags don't slide onto the clamps as easily as you like.
