Designed for precision in metric slope applications, the Empire EM85.8M 205mm TRUE BLUE® Die-Cast Torpedo Level offers professionals the same trusted performance found in Empire’s imperial models—now built for international and metric-standard job sites. This 205mm aluminum torpedo level features a VARI-PITCH™ vial that reads slope in 10mm, 20mm, 30mm, and 40mm per meter, giving you accurate grade information for drainage, mechanical, or piping installs. High-contrast e-BAND™ vials are set at 0°, 45°, and 90°, making it easy to verify standard level, plumb, and angle measurements.
With a V-Groove working edge and rare earth magnets, the EM85.8M sits securely on round conduit or steel pipe, staying locked in place while you measure or mark. A laser-etched ruled edge offers fast on-site reference, and top and bottom read windows ensure vial visibility no matter how tight the space. The die-cast aluminum construction holds up in demanding conditions, delivering accurate results every time.
