Product Description
Milwaukee Pipe Lock Level
Model Number: 48-22-5001
The Milwaukee 48-22-5001 is a Pipe Lock Level — a specialty layout and leveling tool designed specifically for electricians making conduit bends to prevent dog-legs and maintain accurate conduit alignment during the bending process. Dog-legs — the unintentional twist or off-plane deviation that occurs in conduit when bends are not made in a perfectly consistent plane — are one of the most common and frustrating quality issues in conduit installation, causing conduit runs to appear twisted or out of plumb even when individual bends are at the correct angle. The Pipe Lock Level attaches to the conduit and provides a level reference that allows the electrician to confirm the conduit is in the correct plane before and during each bend, eliminating the unintentional rotation that causes dog-legs when the conduit shifts position on the bending table or bender shoe between consecutive bends on the same run.
The level's conduit-gripping attachment mechanism secures it to the conduit without marking or damaging the conduit finish, and the level body positions the vial perpendicular to the conduit axis for reading the conduit's rotational orientation rather than its slope or plumb — the specific reference the electrician needs when setting up multiple bends on the same conduit stick. Using the Pipe Lock Level during offset, saddle, and back-to-back bend sequences ensures that each bend begins with the conduit in exactly the same rotational orientation as the previous bend, maintaining consistent plane alignment throughout the full conduit run and eliminating the rework time spent straightening dog-legged conduit that failed to maintain plane through multiple bends. The tool is an essential addition to any electrician's conduit bending kit for producing professional-quality multi-bend conduit runs that pass inspection and look correct in the finished installation.
The Milwaukee Pipe Lock Level is compatible with standard EMT, IMC, and rigid conduit sizes and works with all standard hand conduit benders and mechanical benders used in commercial and residential electrical work.
