Level STABILA Type 70 professional spirit level 180 cm, model 2291

The STABILA Type 70 professional spirit level 180 cm (model 2291) is a straight, rigid aluminium level engineered for accurate horizontal and vertical alignment on construction and carpentry jobs. With a 180 cm measuring length and durable profile, this level offers a stable reference line for laying, framing and installation work. The Type 70 series combines a high-visibility vial design with a torsion-resistant body to maintain flatness over prolonged use and on rough jobsite surfaces.

Advantages

The level's extruded aluminium profile provides a lightweight yet stiff structure that resists bending and delivers consistent accuracy across its full length. Precision vials are mounted securely to reduce play and ensure repeatable readings. End caps protect the profile and help absorb impacts, while the long working length reduces the need for frequent repositioning when aligning walls, floors or large components. The tool is designed for demanding trade use and offers a balance of durability and measuring precision.

Suitable for

• Laying and checking floor screeds and subfloors
• Framing walls and installing door and window frames
• Plumbing and aligning pipes and conduits
• Cabinetry, joinery and long-span carpentry works
• General site layout and installation of straight edges and rails

Key specifications

• Length: 180 cm working span for long reference lines
• Profile material: rigid extruded aluminium for stability and low weight
• Vial type: precision spirit vials for horizontal and vertical levelling
• Construction: torsion-resistant straight profile to maintain flatness
• Protective end caps to reduce damage from impacts

How to use

Place the level on the surface to be checked and read the position of the bubble in the appropriate vial to determine horizontal or vertical alignment. For longer runs, support the level at multiple points or rest it on the workpiece to minimise sag. Use the long 180 cm span to align large elements without frequent repositioning; for layout tasks, mark positions directly from the level edge. When transferring angles or checking plumb, hold the level steady and confirm the bubble is centred in the vial before marking or fastening.

Usage recommendations

Store the level flat or hang it by built-in hang holes to avoid bending. Clean vials and profile after use to preserve visibility and accuracy. Avoid dropping the level and inspect end caps and vial mounting regularly; replace if damaged to maintain reliable readings.
