Apex 590GMEN Plumb Bob Sae Metric Brass 0-6 Inch

Product Description

The APEX 590GMEN is a brass plumb bob with dual SAE and metric graduation, designed for layout, alignment, and plumb-point transfer work on job sites. The cylindrical body reads upward, allowing the user to sight the graduation directly while the tool is suspended. Measuring range runs from 0 to 6 inches (0 to 150MM), with an overall length of 7.4 inches, a width of 1.3 inches, and a height of 1.1 inches. The brass construction provides corrosion resistance and the density needed for a stable hang in light air movement. This tool is used by plumbers, electricians, carpenters, and general contractors for transferring vertical reference points during rough-in and finish work.

The 590GMEN is suited for residential and light commercial construction tasks where a reliable vertical reference is required. Typical applications include aligning drain stacks, locating anchor bolt centers, setting partition walls plumb, and transferring layout points from floor to ceiling. The dual SAE and metric scale makes it compatible with both standard and metric drawing sets, reducing the need to convert measurements on the fly.

Installation Notes

A plumb bob is suspended from a fixed point using a string or line; the pointed tip identifies the vertical plumb point below. Allow the bob to come to a full stop before marking the reference point to ensure accuracy. No power tools or fasteners are required for use. Secure the line at the upper anchor before releasing the bob to prevent dropping and damaging the tip.
