JOHNSON LEVEL HD
Frequently asked questions
Common questions about JOHNSON LEVEL HD from 3G Electric.
What is the difference between Johnson Level HD magnetic and standard box levels?
Johnson Level HD magnetic box levels include rare earth magnets embedded in the frame, allowing the level to attach to ferrous surfaces such as steel beams and pipes. This enables hands-free use. Standard box levels do not have magnets and are typically lighter. Both types feature aluminum frames, acrylic vials, and removable end caps. Magnetic models are available in lengths such as 24, 48, and 96 inches, with part numbers starting with 95. Standard models have part numbers starting with 98.
What lengths are available in the Johnson Level HD box level line?
The Johnson Level HD box level line includes lengths of 24 inches, 48 inches, and 96 inches. For example, model 9850-2400 is a 24-inch standard box level, 9550-4800 is a 48-inch magnetic box level, and 9850-9600 is a 96-inch standard box level. The part number suffix indicates the length in inches: 2400 for 24 inches, 4800 for 48 inches, and 9600 for 96 inches. This allows for quick identification of the size when ordering.
Are the vials on Johnson Level HD box levels replaceable?
The acrylic vials in Johnson Level HD box levels are not typically user-replaceable. The vials are set into the aluminum frame and are designed to maintain their accuracy over the life of the tool. If a vial becomes damaged or the level goes out of calibration, the entire level should be replaced. The removable end caps protect the vial assembly during transport and storage, but they do not provide access to the vials for replacement.
What is the accuracy specification for Johnson Level HD box levels?
Johnson Level HD box levels are manufactured to meet standard accuracy tolerances for box levels. The exact accuracy specification, such as 0.0005 inches per inch, is provided in the manufacturer's documentation. For critical applications, it is recommended to verify the level's accuracy periodically using a known reference or calibration service. The acrylic vials are designed to provide clear, consistent readings, and the aluminum frame helps maintain stability under normal use conditions.
Can Johnson Level HD box levels be used in outdoor or wet environments?
Johnson Level HD box levels are constructed with aluminum frames and acrylic vials, which are resistant to moisture and typical outdoor conditions. However, they are not rated as waterproof or IP-rated. Prolonged exposure to water or harsh chemicals may affect the vial clarity or frame finish. For outdoor use, it is advisable to dry the level after use and store it in a dry location. The cushioned grips may also provide some protection against minor impacts.
