Source-backedIdentification guideSource-backed identification reference
Evidence boundary: This guide uses source-backed evidence. It does not establish an OEM part number, exact product identity, universal dimensions, compatibility, supersession, or replacement fit.
“Pile” is a family clue, not a backing-width, fin-count or carrier-fit specification.
Accepted pile-family distinctions
| Family ID | Subtype | Interface | Measure |
|---|---|---|---|
| profile record | Woven pile | woven backing / carrier | backing width|pile height|pile density if documented|orientation |
| profile record | Extruded-base pile | rigid extruded base / carrier | base width|base geometry|pile height|pile density if documented|orientation |
| profile record | Single-fin pile | woven or extruded base / carrier | backing width|pile height|fin count|fin position|fin height if documented |
| profile record | Multi-fin pile | carrier / backing | backing width|pile height|fin count|fin positions|orientation |
| profile record | Kerf-mounted pile | kerf / push-in backing | kerf/base geometry|backing width|pile height|fin count if any |
| profile record | Adhesive-backed pile | pressure-sensitive adhesive | backing width|pile height|adhesive face width|fin count if any |
Identification order
- Confirm the receiver/backing style.
- Measure backing width and pile height independently.
- Record fin count and position when present.
- Preserve uncertainty if the carrier or backing geometry is not visible.
