Questions & Answers
Are the vials made of glass ?
Yes they appear to be glass.
Is this level Made in the USA like the other Empire levels I see?
Their website, under this particular level, says "vials made in the USA".
I don't know the country of origin. I have had mine for about two years and it appears to be of high quality and accurate.
Did not see a 30 vial. How does that work ?
It doesn't have one, only downside to it
Looking at mine, I don't see a 30 degree vial either. Never had much need for one, generally use the level, plumb and occasionally the 45. Never missed the other.
How do you read the bubbles. How do you know by using the levels pitch portion of the level when u r at 1/8 pitch?
When the edge of the pitch bubble touches one of the lines on the pitch vial, that is the amount of pitch per foot. Disregard the answers that state per 8". This is from Empire's site: VARI-PITCH? vial reads slope at 1⁄8", 1⁄4", 3⁄8", or 1⁄2" per foot
Holo, we start. The center of the bubble at 1/8 is indicating that you have a slope of 1/8 "at 8" which is equal to 0.90 degrees of inclination. If the center of the bubble is in 1/2 it is indicating that you have a slope of 1/2 "in 8" which is equal to 3.58 degrees of inclination.
Hi, these lines indicate the slope. example: 1/8 indicates that in 8 "of length that measures the level you have 1/8" of height or what is equal 0.90 degrees of inclination If the center of the bubble is in 1/2 it is indicating that you have a slope of 1/2 "in 8" which is equal to 3.58 degrees of inclination. so it is with each of the lines
I put a arrow with marker on top so I know which side has to be the flow. When the edge of the bubble touches the black line that's where your pitch is. I love this level because it has a standard level bubble also. Once you get use to using it you'll love it. I'm a plumber and use it all the time. You can always practice with it by raising one end up a 1/4" (off a level surface) and seeing where the bubble meets the line. Also the magnets are very strong, won't fall off of a vertical pipe.
What is the bubble with the lines and numbers used for
Vial markings indicate level and inches-per-foot-of-pitch from 1/8" to 1/2'' per foot in 1/8'' increments. You use it to determine grade/slope...
All of the bubbles with the lines and numbers are used for leveling purposes.
It's for checking grade. As a plumber, my pipes have to be set at a certain slope so that waste water drains down hill. The numbers (1/8, 1/4, 3/8, 1/2) represent inches of drop for every 2 feet.
Hi, these lines indicate the slope. example: 1/8 indicates that in 8 "of length that measures the level you have 1/8" of height or what is equal 0.90 degrees of inclination If the center of the bubble is in 1/2 it is indicating that you have a slope of 1/2 "in 8" which is equal to 3.58 degrees of inclination. so it is with each of the lines.
They're mostly used by plumbers. The numbers tell you the grade/pitch. When level, the edge of the bubble lines up with the zero. As you increase the grade from level, the bubble moves up the numbers, I believe representing 1/8" rise in a foot, up to 1/2" rise in a foot. Not too useful unless you are putting in a drain/vent pipe to code.
This is from Empire's site. VARI-PITCH? vial reads slope at 1⁄8", 1⁄4", 3⁄8", or 1⁄2" per foot of horizontal run. Disregard the per 8" and 24" answers. They are incorrect.
