Frequently Asked Questions

What is a torpedo level used for?

A torpedo level is a compact level for tight spaces and small jobs where a full length level will not fit. It is used to check pipes, conduit, small fittings, shelves and trim, and it is a handy tool for plumbers, electricians and tradespeople who work in confined areas.

Why does it have a magnetic v groove?

The magnetic v groove lets the level stick to steel pipe and conduit while it holds the level. That frees up your hands to adjust the pipe or the support, which is a real advantage on pipe work. The magnet holds the level in place while you read the bubble. It is a feature that makes the level a one handed tool on metalwork.

How many vials does it have?

The level has 3 vials, which covers the common readings you need on a job. That gives you a horizontal vial for level work, plus vertical vials for plumb checks. The layout suits the small applications a torpedo level is used for.

Are the end caps replaceable?

The rubber end caps are built in for added durability, and their job is to protect the level when it is dropped or knocked. They take the impact instead of the body. As long as the caps stay in place the level body is protected, so check them before heavy use.
