Which valve accessory is specifically designed to label components in an irrigation system?

• A. ID Tags
• B. Locators
• C. Valves Boxes
• D. Pressure Regulating Modules

Answer: (A)

Labeling components is essential for quick, accurate identification and maintenance in irrigation systems. ID tags are purpose-built labels you attach to valves, boxes, or risers to identify what each component controls, its zone, and service details. They’re designed to withstand outdoor conditions and stay readable over time, making it easy to cross-reference with maps and maintenance records.

Locators are tools for finding buried pipes and components; they help you locate something but don’t convey what the component is. Valve boxes are protective enclosures for valves and do not inherently carry identification. Pressure regulating modules adjust system pressure rather than labeling components.

So labeling is done with ID tags.
