Why PipePal?

Plumbing is one of the oldest trades — and one of the most code-heavy. The IPC and UPC differ on trap arm lengths, wet venting rules, and AAV allowances. Gas pipe sizing depends on BTU load, pipe length, and material. Water heater installations touch plumbing, mechanical, and fuel gas codes simultaneously. A journeyman plumber needs to carry all of this in their head — or have a fast way to look it up.

PipePal puts the code book, the sizing tables, and a master plumber's diagnostic instinct on your phone. Photograph a leaking fitting, a suspected code violation, or a corroded pipe and get an instant analysis with IPC/UPC references. The troubleshooting wizard covers 21 equipment types — from residential toilets and garbage disposals to commercial grease traps and boiler systems — with brand-specific guidance for Kohler, Moen, Rheem, Rinnai, Zoeller, Watts, and more.
