Type 196 Heavy Duty Levels
STABILA's #1 selling level. Made in Germany and guaranteed accuracy for life.

Description
STABILA levels are unparalleled with regard to their accuracy and dependability. The secret - the vials made of block acrylic glass are firmly epoxy-locked in the frame. A perfect system. The vial is firmly cast in the high strength aluminum frame with non-shrink epoxy. No re-adjustment, no realignment, no tensioning against springs made of steel or fatigued plastic, no welding or clamping stresses. All STABILA levels are guaranteed to be accurate for life.
Features
- Ultra-rigid aluminium profile with reinforcing ribs for high stability and finger-grip openings for easy use and secure hold while working.
- Two vertical vials for quick readings in any position.
- End caps with an slip-stopper – for a firm seat when marking.
- Shock-absorbing end caps – the two-component material mix protects the profile against impact.
- Removable end caps – exact positioning and marking right up into the corners.
- Easy to clean thanks to the electrostatic powder coating.
- Spirit level with two precision-milled measuring surfaces (coated from 58" / 147 cm).
- High-precision measuring in all positions.
- STABILA installation technology ensures long-term accuracy – measuring accuracy in normal and reverse position of ± 1/32" @ 72" / 0.5mm/m.
- Equipment: 1 horizontal vial, 2 vertical vials (1 vertical vial on 16"/40 cm), 2 milled measuring surfaces (2 coated measuring surfaces for 78"/200 cm and 96"/244 cm), 2 hand grips (1 hand grip on 16"/40 cm, no hand grips on 96"/244 cm).
