Empire Level Measuring & Layout FAQs

What makes True Blue® vials different from standard yellow level vials?
Empire’s True Blue® vials are precision-machined from solid acrylic and utilize a proprietary blue liquid that offers significantly higher contrast against the bubble. This makes it much easier to read in direct sunlight or dim indoor environments. Furthermore, they are UV-resistant to prevent "clouding" and are engineered to be accurate within .0005 inches per inch in all working positions.
What is the difference between a Box Level and an I-Beam Level?
  • Box Levels: Feature a fully enclosed, four-sided rectangular frame. This design offers maximum strength and resistance to twisting (torsion), making them the most durable choice for heavy-duty framing and masonry work.
  • I-Beam Levels: Utilize a lighter "I" shaped aluminum frame. These are generally more cost-effective and easier to handle for long durations, featuring a protected center vial while remaining highly rigid for general carpentry.
How do I check if my spirit level is still accurate?
Place the level on a flat surface and note the bubble's position. Then, flip the level 180 degrees (end-to-end) in the exact same spot. If the bubble rests in the same relative position between the lines both times, the level is accurate. If the bubble shifts significantly, the level is out of calibration and should be replaced to ensure jobsite accuracy.
Are Empire Level products made in the USA?
Yes. Empire Level is headquartered in Mukwonago, Wisconsin, and continues to manufacture the vast majority of its core precision products—including their signature True Blue levels and squares—at its advanced facility in the United States.
What are the benefits of using a magnetic level for trade work?
Empire magnetic levels feature high-strength Rare Earth magnets integrated into the working edge. This allows electricians to snap the level onto conduit, metal studs, or steel pipes for hands-free operation, ensuring a perfectly plumb installation while keeping both hands free to secure fasteners or anchors.
What is a Torpedo Level and which trades use them most?
A Torpedo Level is a compact level (usually 9 to 12 inches) designed for tight spaces. They are indispensable for plumbers (often featuring "slope" or "pitch" vials for drainage), electricians (for leveling boxes and conduit), and HVAC technicians working inside residential equipment.
Are Empire combination square blades etched or printed?
Empire professional-grade squares feature precision-etched graduations. Unlike printed markings that can rub off over time with exposure to shop chemicals and friction, etched markings are carved into the stainless steel blade, ensuring they remain readable and accurate for the entire life of the tool.
What is a Digital Level and when should I use one?
A digital level uses electronic sensors to provide a numeric readout of the angle or slope on an LCD screen. These are essential for tasks requiring extreme precision or specific drainage pitches (such as ADA-compliant ramps or complex roof slopes) where a traditional bubble vial cannot provide the exact degree of measurement needed.
How do I maintain my Empire aluminum levels?
To maintain peak performance, keep the working edges free of dried mortar, concrete, or adhesive buildup. Clean the frame with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid using your level as a pry bar or a straightedge for cutting with a utility knife, as this can nick the precision-milled edges and compromise accuracy.
Does Empire Level offer a warranty on their products?
Yes. Empire Level offers a Limited Lifetime Warranty on their True Blue® products. This covers any defects in materials or workmanship for the life of the tool. Note that the warranty does not cover damage caused by misuse, alterations, or normal wear and tear on the jobsite.
