Panduit MT172-C316 Marker Tag 316 Stainless Steel

Product Description

The PANDUIT MT172-C316 is a stainless steel marker tag designed for durable, permanent identification in demanding industrial and commercial environments. Constructed from 316 stainless steel, this tag resists corrosion, high temperatures, and harsh chemicals, making it suitable for applications where standard plastic or aluminum tags would fail. It features a single mounting hole for secure attachment to equipment, conduit, piping, panels, or wire bundles. Electricians, pipefitters, and maintenance technicians use this type of tag for asset labeling, circuit identification, and compliance marking in facilities requiring long-lasting, legible identification.

This marker tag is well suited for use in industrial plants, marine environments, food processing facilities, wastewater treatment installations, and outdoor electrical or mechanical systems where corrosion resistance is a priority. The 316 stainless steel construction provides superior resistance to chlorides and acidic environments compared to 304 stainless, making it a preferred choice for coastal or chemically aggressive settings. It is sold individually, one tag per unit.

Installation Notes

Installation requires no special tools beyond a fastener, cable tie, or wire appropriate for the mounting point. Always de-energize or isolate the equipment being labeled before attaching tags in live electrical panels or control enclosures. Follow applicable NEC and facility-specific lockout/tagout (LOTO) procedures when working in energized environments. Ensure the mounting hole fastener is compatible with the base material to prevent galvanic corrosion.
