You need it, you are not holding it
You know roughly what you are after but the part is not in front of you. Type it: a name, a rating, a model number. No photo needed to start.
Part identification · paid per search
Describe the part or photograph it. PartSignal works out what it actually is, whether the same part is still made under another brand or number, and whether a working one is already documented and unused.

When to use it
You know roughly what you are after but the part is not in front of you. Type it: a name, a rating, a model number. No photo needed to start.
A valve, a fan, a thermostat head, clearly part of the system, but nothing legible on it. Photograph it and the nameplate if there is one.
Most parts written off that way are still made, often under another brand or number. That is the case PartSignal was built around.
One checked answer beats ordering three and hoping. If a working one is already documented in our inventory, you see it before you buy new.
How it works
A sentence in your own words, or a photo of the part and its nameplate. Either is enough to start.
We check what we hold ourselves. If a working one is already documented, you see it straight away.
If not, the catalogue works out what it actually is, including the same part under another brand or number.
Every match is checked by someone with the trade behind them before you order anything.
We can keep looking for twelve months and write to you when it turns up.
What helps
None of this is required, and you do not need the right technical words. Each one just narrows it down faster.
Material Inventory · the supply side
PartSignal is someone looking for a part. Material Inventory is the record of a part that still exists: photos, markings, condition, quantity and location, written down by a professional before the part is removed, written off or thrown away.
Pricing
€1
Describe or photograph the part. The catalogue works out what it is, and a professional verifies the match before you order. “Not found” is also an answer.
€10
A separate fee, only if we do not find the part straight away. We keep looking and write when it turns up.
Not a subscription: one payment for one search. VAT, taxes and invoicing are handled in the payment flow. Customers in Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Poland, Czechia, Hungary, Romania and Ukraine pay in their own currency; the amount is shown in the app before you pay.
What PartSignal does not promise
PartSignal never confirms on its own that a part fits, is in stock, or is safe to install. Identification is at component level, not an official manufacturer endorsement, and a professional checks it before anything is ordered.
A sentence is enough to start. If it exists, we will tell you where. If it does not, we will tell you that too.
