Value Collection 102-1026 Dial Caliper 6 Inch Stainless Steel

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 102-1026 is a stainless steel dial caliper designed for precise dimensional measurement across a 6-inch range. It reads to a graduation of 0.001 inches with a dial advance of 0.1 inches per revolution, making it suitable for detailed work in fabrication, maintenance, and mechanical service environments. The red-faced dial improves readability in low-light or high-contrast conditions. The jaws and body are constructed entirely from stainless steel, providing resistance to corrosion and wear in shop environments. This caliper is a standard instrument used by machinists, HVAC technicians, plumbers, and electricians when precise measurements of fittings, tubing, or components are required.

The 102-1026 handles four measurement types: outside, inside, depth, and step measurements. The 1.57-inch jaw length accommodates a range of workpiece geometries. The included depth measurement rod extends the caliper's utility for blind-hole and slot measurement. This tool is appropriate for residential and commercial trade work wherever dimensional verification of parts, pipe fittings, conduit, or mechanical components is needed during installation or repair.

Key Features

• 6-inch maximum measurement range with 0.001-inch dial graduation
• 0.1 inches of travel per dial revolution for fine, repeatable readings
• Full stainless steel construction on jaws and caliper body
• Red dial face on gray dial case for high-contrast readability
• Measures outside, inside, depth, and step dimensions in a single tool
• Includes depth measurement rod for blind-hole and slot applications

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose dial caliper suitable for trade and shop use wherever a 6-inch range instrument with 0.001-inch resolution is required.

Installation Notes

No installation is required for this measuring instrument. Before use, confirm the caliper zeroes correctly with jaws fully closed and inspect the dial face for free needle movement. Store in the included case when not in use to protect the precision ground jaws and dial mechanism from damage. Calibration should be verified periodically against a known gauge block when measurement accuracy is critical.
