Torpedo spirit level STABILA Type 80 T telescopic 61–103 cm with vial, model 20167

STABILA Type 80 T telescopic torpedo spirit level (model 20167) is a compact, extendable measuring tool with an adjustable length from 61 to 103 cm. Engineered for precise horizontal and vertical alignment in tight or variable workspaces, the devices characteristic slim profile allows access to confined areas while the integrated vial provides clear bubble indication for accurate levelling. The telescopic function enables quick adjustment to the desired span, reducing the need for multiple fixed-length levels on the job.

Advantages

The telescopic construction gives flexible working length, combining portability with extended reach when needed. The slim torpedo profile is suitable for narrow gaps and overhead installations, while the solid build ensures consistent contact with work surfaces. The vial is positioned for easy reading from different angles, helping to achieve accurate leveling and plumb alignment. Overall, the tool reduces setup time and simplifies alignment tasks by offering a single instrument that adapts to a range of measuring situations.

Suitable for

• Carpentry and joinery alignment in confined spaces
• Installation work for cabinets, shelves and fixtures
• General construction tasks requiring quick length adjustment
• Overhead and vertical installations where slim profile is required

Key specifications

• Adjustable length: 61–103 cm
• Tool type: telescopic torpedo spirit level
• Profile: slim, compact for confined spaces
• Measurement functions: horizontal and vertical levelling
• Vial: integrated bubble vial for visible indication

How to use

Extend the spirit level to the required length by releasing and sliding the telescopic section until it reaches the desired span, then lock or secure it according to the tool's adjustment mechanism. Place the level on the surface to be checked; align until the bubble in the vial is centred for horizontal or vertical orientation. For repeated checks, reposition and re-check at multiple points along the workpiece or structure. Retract the telescopic section for storage and transport to protect the vial and maintain compactness.

Usage recommendations

Use the STABILA Type 80 T on clean, flat contact surfaces for best accuracy; avoid striking the vial or dropping the tool. Store retracted in a protective case or toolbox. For critical installations, verify results at multiple points and combine with other measuring tools as needed.
