Application and Installation of Identification
Tapes. The Army uses two types of identification
systems to code the plumbing lines and electrical conduits
of aircraft. The two systems used are the printed-
symbolized tape system (the preferred method), and the
solid color band, (the alternate method). Identification
tapes will be applied to plumbing lines and electrical
conduits of all Army aircraft.
a.
Printed-Symbolized System. This latest and
preferred system utilizes printed colored tape (one inch
wide) with geometrical symbols. The main function of the
line is printed on the tape. Printing will be in accordance
with MIL-STD-1247. Colors will be in accordance with
ANA Bulletin 166 and Federals Standard 595 (refer to
table 6-1).
(1)
Colored tapes. Colored tapes as shown
in figure 6-1 shall be used to identify aircraft system lines.
(2)
Line content. Identification of system
line content or subsidiary functions may be indicated by
additional words or abbreviations printed on a second
tape adjacent to first tape or, alternatively, interposed
between words descriptive of main function.
(3)
Systems not referenced. A white tape
with black lettering will be used for coding lines of
systems such as the vacuum system not referenced in
figure 6-1.

(4) Type of tape. Aircraft tubing identification
marker tape (non-corrosive, heat, cold and solvent
resistant), MIL-T-9906 conforming to MS87033, shall be
used
b.
Solid Color Band System. This alternate
system consists of the use of one, two, or three bands of
1/2-inch wide solid colored tape wrapped on various lines
for identification. This system is shown in figure 6-2.
(1)
Tape colors. Colors for tapes used in
this system shall conform to color codes in ANA Bulletin
166 and Federal Standard No 595 (refer to table 6-1).
(2)
Tape spacing. When more than one
color of tape is required, tapes shall be placed
approximately 1/16 inch apart. When one color is used
but more than one tape is required, tapes shall be placed
approximately 1/8 inch apart.
(3)
Type of tape. Type II pressure-
sensitive tape, A-A-113, shall be used for this system.
c.
Application of Identification Tapes. The
application and use of both identification systems are the
same, and the following paragraphs are applicable to both
systems.
