Does anyone know where to get replacement labels, for the Vanguard water manifold located in the wet bay?

I had to touch up the wet bay panel labels, I used a Brother P Touch labelmaker. Very close to original. I tried to insert photo. but my pic is too big and I am too old to resize (the pic).

Call the company:  https://kscdirect.com/search_results.php?q=Vanguard%2BPlumbing%2BACCESSORIES

But as Bill suggests I’d use a label maker.  I use either my Dymo Labelwriter 450 or my Dymo LatraTag, depending on the need.  Both use thermal printing rather than ink.  The Labelwriter requires a computer but can make larger labels, such as for addressing envelopes. 

The LetraTag is probably more appropriate for your current project, being portable;  its plastic label option would be more moisture resistant.  The only negative aspect I’ve found is the clumsy design to peel backing off after creating a label.  But practicing technique has made it easier.

As Bill notes, Brother makes appropriate devices also and I’ve been tempted by several of their models, but already owned the Dymos.

 The point is you’ll find many future uses for such machines, so shop around and don’t be put off by prices.

Thanx to you both. I will pick up a label maker as we could use it for other things too...……….
