Stanley 42-328 I-beam 180 Level 48 Inches

Product Description

The STANLEY 42-328 is an I-Beam 180 level measuring 48 inches in length, built for jobsite accuracy in layout and alignment work. The I-beam aluminum body provides structural rigidity without excessive weight, keeping the tool manageable during extended use on framing, mechanical, or plumbing installations. At 1.76 pounds, it is light enough to carry on a tool belt while remaining long enough to span studs, pipe runs, and duct sections for reliable level readings. Licensed tradespeople across HVAC, plumbing, and general construction rely on this type of level for setting horizontal and vertical reference on rough and finish work.

This level is suited for residential and light commercial applications where a durable, mid-length spirit level is needed. Typical uses include leveling pipe hangers, setting condensate drain slopes, aligning electrical panel mounting surfaces, checking plumb on riser installations, and general framing layout. The 48-inch length provides a stable base for accurate readings across wider spans without requiring a longer, less maneuverable tool.

Key Features

• 48-inch I-beam body for span coverage across studs and mechanical runs
• Lightweight at 1.76 pounds for easy one-handed positioning
• I-beam aluminum profile resists flex and maintains accuracy under load
• Suitable for level, plumb, and 180-degree readings based on vial configuration

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose spirit level for use across HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and construction trades requiring a 48-inch measuring reference.

Installation Notes

No power source or shutoff is required for use of this level. Clean vial surfaces before use to ensure accurate bubble readings. Handle with care to avoid dropping, as impact can shift vial calibration and compromise accuracy. Periodically verify calibration against a known flat reference surface per standard trade practice.
