ConTech Licensing · PlumbPrint™
The part's discontinued.
Print it anyway.
PlumbPrint™ is the printable parts library built for plumbers: the interface parts and field tools that stop a job cold — handle adapters, escutcheon rings, trim spacers, caps, gauges — each one catalogued, material-matched, and checked against a hard safety framework before a file ever reaches your printer. Search by the problem you're staring at, not a part number you don't have.

Problem, search, card, print. That's the whole pitch.
The library screens are the real product. The launch catalog is in review and print files roll out part by part — every file passes the eligibility and materials checks below before it can be downloaded.
How it works
Built for the truck, not the office.
"Handle won't fit." "Escutcheon won't sit flush." PlumbPrint is indexed by the trouble in front of you and the fixture it belongs to — with guided measurements when the fit matters.
Every part carries a card: what it is, what it fits, the material it's specified in and why, the print profile, and what to inspect before it goes into service. If a part isn't printable under the rules, the card says so — and routes you to the manufacturer's part instead.
One acknowledgment, one download, and the file is yours to print. Field reports flow back — fits, failures, photos — so the next revision of every part is better than the last.
The line we don't cross
A printed part that fails where water lives is a flood, not a shortcut. So the library is fenced, in the software itself — not in a policy document.
- Eligibility gate — every part passes an eight-question test before it can be published; the database itself refuses downloadable files for anything outside the fence: no cartridges, valves, seals, gaskets, pressure pipe, traps, or supply connectors. Those parts are identified and routed to the manufacturer — never printed.
- Materials matrix — each part is specified in a named material for named reasons (PETG is the field default; ASA where heat and sun live; flexible materials only where nothing structural depends on them). A card that violates the matrix cannot publish.
- Review and recall — parts are reviewed before they go live, a safety-flagged field report pauses a part immediately, and manufacturer takedowns disable first and review second.
The first shelf
Eight launch parts, drawn from the calls that waste the most windshield time.
The discontinued-handle rescue — the adapter that gets a working handle back on an orphan stem.
The little wrench that lives in the truck instead of the toolbox you left at the shop.
For the valve that sits too deep after the remodel — spacer rings in the depths tile actually comes in.
The ring that lets a trim plate sit flat and finished on an imperfect wall.
A field tool that makes stub-out depth a measurement, not a guess.
The finish details that make a repair look like it was always that way.
Identify the stem in your hand before you order the wrong cartridge — printed gauges, honest answers.
License it for your platform
Your customers are service and replacement shops. Their trucks hit these exact parts problems every day. PlumbPrint gives your platform the governed library, the safety framework, and the download machinery — under your brand's roof or ours.
- The governed catalog — part cards, eligibility records, and revision history for every printable part.
- The safety framework — the eligibility gate and materials matrix, licensed as-is. The fence is the product; it is not an editable option.
- File packages and the download gate — reviewed print files with acknowledgment-gated delivery and per-revision accounting.
- Manufacturer routing — reference-only parts resolve to the OEM part and source, turning a dead end into a correct order.
- The feedback loop — field reports, fit data, and safety flags flowing back into revisions.
Manufacturers: the library is built to work with you, not around you. Printable interface parts keep your installed base serviceable; everything inside the fence routes to your parts channel. Ask about the manufacturer review program.
