The numbers

When an experienced fitter leaves, the next one starts from scratch.

And every year, tens of thousands of new pipefitters and plumbers start on the job.

of U.S. workers have had to train themselves because a retiring coworker's knowledge wasn't passed on.

What it captures

The stuff that never makes it into the permit.

The code book is written down. What each inspector expects, and where everything is on each job, is not.

Pressure tests

The test pressure and hold time each inspector wants, and how they want to see it on the gauge.

Meters, regulators & shutoffs

Where the meter and regulator are, and which shutoff isolates which line.

Inspector & code notes

Bonding, sediment traps, venting and labeling: what got flagged before and how it was fixed.

Safety steps

Purging, leak checks, and what NOT to do before the line is tested.

Materials & fittings

Which fittings the job is approved for, the supplier that has them, and the manufacturer's install requirements.

Job site details

Access, gate codes, who to call at the gas utility, where the laydown area is.

On the job

Ask it like you'd ask your lead fitter.

  • Record on site from a phone's browser. Nothing to install.
  • Each note is transcribed and filed under the equipment and the job site it's about.
  • Scan the QR sticker on a test gauge, a meter set or the job trailer door to see its notes or record a new one.
  • Notes are tagged with the problem, cause, fix, parts and tools, plus code tips and inspector notes.
  • Record in English or Spanish. Notes can be searched and answered in both.
  • Anyone on the team searches in plain words or asks a question, and gets the answer from your notes along with the notes it used.

Elm St job

“Elm Street job. This inspector wants to see the test already on the gauge when they arrive, so put it on test before they get here and write the start time on the tag. They also check for a sediment trap at every appliance. The water heater was missing one last time. The main shutoff is at the meter on the north side.”

Inspector: test running on arrivalCode tip: sediment trap at each applianceLocation: meter on the north side
