Stanley 42-465 Magnetic Torpedo Level 9 Inches

Product Description

The STANLEY 42-465 is a cast aluminum magnetic torpedo level built for trade professionals who need reliable plumb, level, and 45-degree readings in tight spaces. The body measures 9 inches in length and features a large top-read vial window for fast, unobstructed sightlines. Tinted 360-degree acrylic vials reduce eye strain in bright or harsh job-site lighting. The integrated magnet holds the tool securely to ferrous pipe, conduit, duct work, and structural steel, keeping both hands free during layout and installation work.

This torpedo level is suited for residential and light commercial applications across multiple trades. Electricians use it to plumb conduit runs and panel mounting. Plumbers rely on it for drain slope and fixture alignment. HVAC technicians find it useful when leveling air handlers, condensate lines, and equipment pads. The compact 9-inch form factor fits inside wall cavities, mechanical chases, and other confined spaces where a standard 24-inch or 48-inch level will not fit.

Key Features

• Cast aluminum body provides durability without significant added weight
• Integrated magnet secures the level to ferrous metal surfaces during layout
• Large top-read vial window speeds up readings in confined spaces
• Tinted 360-degree acrylic vials reduce glare and eye fatigue
• Compact 9-inch length fits in tight installation areas

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose torpedo level for use across plumbing, electrical, HVAC, and general construction applications requiring a compact magnetic level.

Installation Notes

No power source or lockout procedure is required for this hand tool. Clean the contact surface before placing the level to ensure the magnetic base seats flat and provides an accurate reading. Acrylic vials can crack if the tool is dropped onto hard surfaces, so inspect vials for damage before relying on readings for critical work. Store the level away from strong magnetic fields that could affect vial fluid over time.
