A pressure regulator for installing in a fluid flow system. The pressure regulator comprises a body and an identification device coupled to the body. The identification device has a first portion with first identification information and a second portion with second identification information. The second portion of the identification device is separated from the pressure regulator while the first portion of the identification device remains coupled to the pressure regulator. The second portion of the identification device is then affixed to a surface, such as a form.
