A valve tag is an engraved identification disc fitted to a valve — typically a 38–50mm circle wired through a mounting hole — marking the valve number and service so isolation and maintenance target the right valve every time.

What customers are saying
See all →“As soon as I had put my order in, Josh was on the phone to me to adjust a few things to make sure it was 100% right. Couldn’t ask for better service and transparency from designing all the way to picking up the labels.”
“Great service and communication”
“Hi recently had solar panels installed, but the installer did a messy job on my switchboard. The moved all the switches around, but didn't move any of the existing labels, and the new labels were just label maker and the terminology was non complaint (failed and Office of the Technical Regulator audit). I took it on myself to get professionally laser cut labels to replace the dodgy label maker/hand written and non-compliant language. RBZ3D was easy to use to make all the labels I need, shipped quick enough, and now the labels look so much better. Would definitely recommend and use again.”
“Treff labels supplied as requested, great job thank you”
Why engraved
The tag is the record.
A valve schedule is only as good as the tags on the valves. Stamped metal corrodes, printed labels fade in plant rooms and weather, and a tag you cannot read is a tag that gets the wrong valve closed. Engraved traffolyte keeps its contrast for decades — the text is cut into the material, not printed on it.
Tags come drilled the way you need them — one hole for wiring on, two for screwing down — in the standard service colours so tradies can read the system at a glance.
- ·UV, chemical, and heat resistant — plant rooms to rooftops
- ·Numbered series engraved individually, priced as one run
- ·Round, oval, rectangle, or tombstone — holes where you want them
- ·Electrically non-conductive — safe on switchgear and MCCs
RBZ 3D engraves custom valve tags to order in Townsville, Queensland — designed online with instant per-label pricing, engraved by a licensed electrician within 1–3 business days, with no minimum order and tracked shipping Australia-wide.

Valve tag kits
Numbered sets, made to your schedule.
Off-the-shelf valve tag kits come in fixed number ranges — buy 1 to 25 whether you need them or not, and hope your valve schedule happens to match. Ours are cut to the schedule instead: any range, any prefix, any colour, priced per tag.
- ·Any range. 1–50, 200–350, V001–V120 — start and end wherever the schedule does, with leading zeros kept exactly as written.
- ·Any prefix. CHW-, HHW-, CD-, FIRE-, GV-, or your own site convention — every tag in the run carries it.
- ·Colour-coded by service. Split one order across services — green for chilled and heating water, red for fire, yellow for gas — and each block comes engraved in its service colour.
- ·Discs, ovals, or rectangles with a mounting hole, in any size the schedule calls for.
- ·Priced per tag with volume discounts applied automatically across the whole set.
For small sets, the designer generates and prices the numbered run on screen. For full building or plant sets, send the valve schedule through the Quick Quote and pricing for every service comes back within one business day.

Common questions
Quick answers.
What are valve tags and why are they used?
A valve tag is a small engraved identification label fitted to a valve handle or stem, usually wired or screwed on through a mounting hole. It identifies the valve number, the service it controls (chilled water, gas, fire), and often its normal position — so commissioning, fault-finding, isolation, and shutdowns happen on the right valve, first time.
What are valve tags made from?
Ours are laser-engraved traffolyte (engraving laminate) — a two-layer plastic where the engraving exposes a contrasting core. It is UV stable, chemical resistant, electrically non-conductive, and the markings cannot fade or rub off. 1.6mm thickness is standard for tags; it takes knocks and stays rigid.
What size and shape should valve tags be?
The common standard is a 38–50mm circle with a single mounting hole at the top, engraved with the valve number and service. We also make ovals, rectangles, and tombstone shapes — the designer previews each at true scale, and any size prices instantly.
Can you engrave numbered series like V-001 to V-250?
Yes — the designer has a number-series mode. Set the prefix, start, and end, and every tag in the run is generated and priced at once. Each tag arrives individually engraved with its own number. Letter series and custom lists work the same way.
How are valve tags attached?
Most are wired on through a 5mm mounting hole using stainless wire, ball chain, or cable ties. We engrave the hole positions you ask for — one hole, two holes, or none if you are fixing with screws or adhesive.
Is there a minimum order for valve tags?
No minimum. One replacement tag for a damaged valve costs the same per-tag as a full plant run, and volume discounts apply from 10 tags. Industrial schedules — hundreds of tags across multiple services — can be sent through the bulk quote with a spreadsheet.
Can I order a sequentially numbered valve tag set or kit?
Yes — and unlike pre-made kits sold in fixed ranges, ours are made to your schedule. Choose any start and end number (1–50, 200–350, V001–V120), any prefix, and any shape, and the whole set arrives engraved in sequence. Mixed-service kits — say green water tags 1–80 plus red fire tags 1–40 — go through as one order with volume pricing across the lot.
What do the valve tag service colour codes mean?
Australian sites generally colour valve tags to match the pipe service colours: green for water services (chilled, heating, condenser), red for fire services, yellow for gas and fuel, blue for compressed air, and white or black for electrical and general equipment. The colour lets a tradie identify the system before reading a word — but site specs vary, so always match the spec or the scheme already in place.
