Empire Industries EM85.8 True Blue Torpedo Level 8 in

Product Description

The EMPIRE INDUSTRIES EM85.8 is a die cast torpedo level built for trade professionals who need accurate, reliable readings in tight spaces. Measuring 8 inches in length, this tool features rare earth magnets for superior holding strength on ferrous surfaces, making it well suited for pipefitters, electricians, and plumbers working on metal pipe and conduit. The solid aluminum frame resists jobsite abuse while keeping the tool lightweight at 0.49 pounds. High contrast e-BAND vials highlight the bubble edge for fast, confident readings in low-light or high-movement conditions.

The EM85.8 is designed for use in residential and commercial trade applications where space is limited and hands-free operation is an advantage. The VARI-PITCH vial reads slope at 1/8 inch, 1/4 inch, 3/8 inch, and 1/2 inch, covering the most common drain and pipe pitch requirements. The V-groove working edge seats accurately on round pipe or conduit, and top and bottom read windows allow readings from multiple positions without repositioning the tool. The laser etched ruled edge supports quick field measurements directly on the work material.

Installation Notes

No installation is required for this hand tool. Before taking a reading, verify the working surface is free of debris that could affect seating and level accuracy. When using the magnetic base on energized conduit or pipe systems, follow applicable NFPA 70 lockout and site safety procedures. Store the level away from strong external magnetic fields that could affect vial performance over time.
