Plumbing

Water heater specs and part numbers, answered from the truck

Anode rods, thermocouples, fixture models, warranty dates and what your crew did at that address last time — without a phone call to the office or twenty minutes on a manufacturer site.

Plumbing in the field

What your techs actually ask

Plumbing answers are mostly part identification under time pressure. Getting the right SKU before leaving the supply house is the difference between one trip and two.

Where answers come from

What a plumbing answer is built from

Most of this already exists in your system as text nobody can search. FieldIQ makes it answerable.

🚿
Equipment and fixture records
Heaters, tanks, pumps and fixtures by address, with model, serial and install date from your FSM.
🧾
Job and invoice history
What was installed, what it cost and who did it — so the part on the truck matches the one already there.
📘
Manufacturer spec and parts lists
Part numbers and dimensions for the models in your records, plus any PDF you upload.
🛡️
Warranty dates
Install dates from your own records, so warranty status is a lookup rather than a guess.

What FieldIQ will not do

FieldIQ does not include the IPC, the UPC or your local amendments — those are licensed documents. Upload your copies if you need them searchable. It also does not confirm that a part is correct for a given installation: it reports what the manufacturer document and your records say, with the source attached, and the plumber on site verifies against the equipment before fitting anything.
