How it works

From photo to a record you can verify

The identifier is a four-step digital pipeline. It is designed to help you describe and shop for a part — and to route anything risky to a licensed professional. It is not a repair tool.

AI red line: Every identification is a visual impression, not a measurement. Verify physical specs yourself. Licensed professionals are required for gas, pressurized, and main-line work.
VALVE · COMPRESSION
PIPELINE · IMPRESSION ONLY

An impression engine, not an instruction engine

The system is deliberately limited. It will name what a fitting might be and what to confirm, but it is built to refuse repair, removal, and installation guidance — and to flag when a licensed professional is required.

01

Capture or load an image

Take a photo of the part or load one from your device. The image is processed to produce an impression — it is not stored as a measurement and not sent to any human technician.

02

Generate an impression

The engine proposes a likely part family and a possible size range. Everything is labelled as an impression, because a photo cannot confirm thread standard, pressure rating, or material.

03

Read the structured record

You receive part impression, possible size range, common use, a shopping checklist, questions for a licensed professional, and safety stop flags — never a set of steps.

04

Verify, then ask a professional

Use the checklist to measure and confirm the real part. For gas, pressurized, or main-line context, bring the questions to a licensed professional and stop there.
