Stabila 37472 72" Level Type 196
The Ultimate Standard for Door and Window Installation.
The Stabila 37472 72-Inch Type 196 Level is the essential tool for professionals who require absolute precision over long spans. Engineered with an extra-rigid rectangular aluminum profile, this 6-foot level features internal reinforcing ribs that provide maximum resistance to twisting and warping. Whether you are setting tall door frames, leveling long window headers, or performing high-end trim work, the Type 196 ensures your work stays perfectly true under any job site condition.
At the core of the 37472 is Stabila’s patented Locked Vial System. The vials are permanently epoxy-bonded into the frame, meaning they are fixed for life and never require recalibration. If the tool takes a hard fall, the shock-absorbing end caps protect the profile's integrity, while the integrated anti-slip wall grips allow you to hold the level steady against a vertical surface with just one hand for effortless marking.
Key Performance Features:
- Stabila Locked Vial Technology: Vials are permanently bonded; they will never leak, fog, or lose accuracy even after heavy use.
- Reinforced High-Strength Profile: The heavy-duty aluminum box-beam design provides incredible stability over its full 72-inch length.
- Certified Precision: Guaranteed accurate to ±1/32" over 72 inches in both normal and reverse (overhead) positions.
- Dual Milled Measuring Surfaces: Two machined faces ensure the highest degree of flatness and consistent contact with your workpiece.
- Removable End Caps: Rubberized caps can be popped off to allow for flush measuring directly into tight corners or against headers.
- Ergonomic Hand Grips: Two large, rubberized handle holes provide a secure and comfortable grip for better control during vertical plumbing.
