App Concept
CodeComply Connector Guide
A mobile app that instantly tells plumbers which pipe connectors are code-compliant for their specific state, material transition, and application (underground, above-ground, etc.). Pulls from up-to-date plumbing codes and manufacturer specs, with photo recognition to identify coupling types.
Key Features
- Photo identification of coupling type
- State-specific code lookup for pipe material transitions
- Application-based recommendations (underground, above-ground, etc.)
- Integration with local code databases for real-time updates
Target Users: Plumbers and plumbing contractors in the US, especially those who frequently install underground drainage systems and work with multiple pipe materials.
Revenue Model: $9.99/mo per user subscription or $99/year premium tier with offline access and code updates
