Narrative:

Unsvcable part was installed on aircraft. Found pitot probe clogged. Captain had no airspeed indication. Ordered probe from stock room. Part was delivered in sealed box. Removed part, saw that it had a svcable parts tag in box. Installed part on aircraft. Later noticed the part was unsvcable. I feel that the tags are very confusing, svcable and unsvcable are on the same tag.
