Aluminium spirit level 61 cm, illuminated horizontal/vertical vials, non-slip stopper, 1 handle

Micrometer-precision adjusted and permanently bonded.

In STABILA spirit levels, the vial, the vial locking support and the measuring surfaces of the profile are aligned precisely with each other during the production process and permanently bonded using a synthetic resin. Only in this way

is it possible to ensure that all components are aligned parallel and permanently, and that the spirit level will continue

to measure accurately even after many years.

STABILA mounting technology.

The special STABILA vial fixing process ensures long-lasting precision.

Using a special vial positioning process, the spirit level components are permanently connected.

You can use your spirit level with confidence for life. It remains as precise as on day one. It requires no

subsequent adjustment and leaves no room for doubt. Measurements are always accurate even under the harsh conditions typical of a construction site.

STABILA vials

The vial locking block is made of high-quality acrylic glass, unbreakable and easy to clean. The surfaces of the outer sides should be as smooth as possible to avoid light refraction during vial reading. The inner walls of the vial are precisely ground and the reading rings are inserted flush without corrosion: this ensures that the vial bubble can move freely without obstacles and guarantees maximum precision.

Anti-static factor: in STABILA vials, it is safely prevented that electrostatic charges or other mechanical loads

affect the movement of the vial.

UV protection: the fluorescent liquid in the vial has high resistance to UV rays. This prevents the liquid from losing its colour. The colour contrast ensures good readability in all lighting conditions.

Excellent readability

STABILA spirit levels are highly resistant to temperature fluctuations.

The bubble size and the distance of the rings are designed to keep easy readability unchanged even at very high or very low temperatures.

This ensures accurate reading from -20 °C to +50 °C. The bubble size always remains within the reading rings: from (a) to -20 °C up to (b) to +50 °C.

The different spirit level profiles

A profile always depends on the needs and expectations of a tradesperson. In this regard, a high

level of use value, a controlled weight with the necessary robustness and excellent handling are essential.

STABILA has the right spirit level for every user.

Lightweight aluminium profile – pleasant to handle.

Aluminium profile with reinforcing ribs – great stability, secure grip.

Very rigid aluminium profile with reinforcing ribs – great stability, secure grip.

R-profile with five chambers, torsion-resistant – developed for use on construction sites in difficult conditions.

Die-cast aluminium profile – great ease of gripping the spirit level.

The different types of vials

STABILA offers spirit levels with different types of vials and combinations of vials. This way, every user will find the spirit level best suited to make their work easier.

Horizontal vial – for horizontal measurements.

Measurement in normal position. The horizontal vial faces upwards. The bubble is located on the top part of the vial.

Measurement in inverted position. The spirit level has been turned – the horizontal bubble faces downwards. The vial bubble has also been turned and is now located on the other side wall of the vial.

Vertical vial – for vertical measurements.

Rotating angle vial – for determining variable inclination.

Fixed 45° angle vial – for determining a fixed inclination.

Six-ring vial – for quickly measuring differences in level.

Measurement positions

The measurement position describes the position of the spirit level during measurement.

Measurement in normal position

The horizontal vial faces upwards. The bubble is located on the top part of the vial.

Measurement in inverted position

The spirit level has been turned – the horizontal bubble faces downwards. The vial bubble has also been turned and is now located

on the other side wall of the vial.

Measuring surfaces

In most cases, the entire body of the spirit level, including the measuring surface, is powder-coated. However, there are also spirit levels in which, after coating the surface, the measuring surface is milled flat in an additional working step. In any case, it is important that the surface is absolutely

flat. Depending on the model, a spirit level is equipped with one or two measuring surfaces. The additional measuring surface expands the range of applications.

Magnet systems

To keep your hands free when aligning and adjusting metal objects.

Ferrite magnet system

Strong adhesion of the spirit level to metal structural elements.

Rare-earth magnet system – very strong adhesion of the spirit level to metal structural elements.

Side caps

To securely protect the measuring surfaces, impact-resistant plastic side caps are used permanently. To ensure good impact absorption, the protruding height relative to the hollow profile of the spirit level must be sufficient. STABILA also offers side caps with practical additional functions.

Plastic side caps protect the profile in the event of impact.

Removable side caps allow precise positioning and marking even in corners.

Impact-resistant side caps: the two-component material ensures effective absorption of impact energy and protects the profile.

Side caps with non-slip stopper for perfect grip during marking.

Every tradesperson knows that not everything always goes smoothly on a construction site. It’s a good thing to have a tool you can trust completely and that won’t let you down when you need it most.

Imagine your spirit level falling from the scaffolding and, despite the impact, continuing to measure with the same precision as on day one. This is STABILA quality!

STABILA spirit levels are built with a vial positioned securely, which continues to measure even after heavy stress and does not need to be adjusted.

This is why tradespeople all over the world rely on STABILA spirit levels.

With STABILA, every tradesperson finds the right spirit level: depending on their needs and the application.

Lightweight or robust, short or long, up to special spirit levels designed for specific uses.
