Pipe Color Coding Standards

The document provides guidelines for identifying pipes by color according to the National Building Code. Pipes carrying carbon dioxide, fire water, acetylene, blast furnace gas, gasoline, grease, hydrogen, oxygen, oil, tar, producer gas, and liquid petroleum gas should be colored red. Pipes carrying acids, high pressure air, ammonia, high pressure steam, low pressure steam, boiler feed water, hot water, and high pressure water should be colored yellow. Pipes carrying low pressure air, argon, helium, nitrogen, cold water, distilled water, low pressure water, and treated water should be colored green.
