VOREL 17304 plumb bob

The VOREL 17304 plumb bob is a steel masonry plumb line designed for accurate vertical alignment during construction and related tasks. This single-piece tool combines a compact hexagonal body with a substantial mass and a braided cord, providing reliable, repeatable plumb-pointing for layout, installation and inspection work on-site.

Advantages

The hexagonal steel body with a 27 mm width and 88 mm length offers stable handling and resists rolling when placed on flat surfaces. The 300 g weight ensures steady suspension and rapid damping of small oscillations for quicker, accurate readings. The included 4.5 m braided line is durable and easy to handle, allowing measurements over typical room and ceiling heights without additional accessories.

Suitable for

• Vertical alignment of walls, partitions and masonry
• Installing door and window frames
• Checking plumb for ceiling fixtures and suspended elements
• Layout and marking during renovation and carpentry work

Key specifications

• Material: steel body with braided cord
• Body shape: hexagonal
• Body size: 27 mm (across flats) × 88 mm length
• Weight: 300 g
• Cord length: 4.5 m

How to use

Secure one end of the braided line to the attachment point on the plumb bob and unwind the required length. Hold or fix the free end at the reference point above the desired location and allow the plumb bob to hang freely until oscillations subside. Use the tip of the plumb bob to mark the floor or reference surface, or align with a mark on the structure. Retrieve the tool by winding the cord back onto the hand or spool and store in a dry place to prevent corrosion of the steel body.

Usage recommendations

For best accuracy, avoid using the plumb bob in windy conditions; secure the suspension point and keep the cord free of twists. Inspect the braided line for wear before each use and replace if frayed. When not in use, dry and store the plumb bob to maintain the steel finish and cord integrity.
