Description
Product Overview
The Ohaus foot‑adjustable accessory is engineered to provide a stable foundation for a wide range of laboratory and industrial scales. Constructed from high‑grade steel with a corrosion‑resistant finish, the four legs—designated NV, NVL, NVT, and a standard foot—deliver consistent support that minimizes wobble and improves measurement repeatability.
Each leg incorporates a precision‑machined foot that can be fine‑tuned to level uneven work surfaces. The adjustable mechanism allows users to raise or lower individual legs in millimeter increments, ensuring perfect balance even on sloped countertops or bench tops. This flexibility is especially valuable in environments where floor flatness cannot be guaranteed.
The accessory is compatible with Ohaus model numbers that accept foot‑adjustable components, as well as many third‑party balances that follow the standard mounting pattern. The included hardware—four stainless‑steel screws and a compact wrench—facilitates a quick, tool‑free installation, allowing the scale to be ready for use within minutes.
Beyond its functional role, the accessory’s sleek matte black coating blends seamlessly with modern laboratory aesthetics while resisting fingerprints and chemical splashes. The design eliminates the need for bulky external brackets, preserving valuable bench space and maintaining a clean visual profile.
Installation instructions are printed on the packaging and reinforced with an online video tutorial. Users simply align the mounting holes, insert the screws, and adjust each leg until the scale sits level. No calibration is required after installation, although a quick verification check is recommended to confirm optimal performance.
Usage
In research laboratories, precise weighing is critical for reproducibility, and any vibration can compromise results. The Ohaus foot‑adjustable accessory dampens external disturbances by anchoring the scale firmly to the work surface, making it ideal for weighing powders, liquids, and delicate specimens.
Manufacturing floors often experience foot traffic and equipment movement. By providing a sturdy, adjustable base, the accessory helps maintain scale accuracy despite the dynamic environment, reducing the frequency of recalibration and downtime.
Educational institutions benefit from the ease of setup, allowing instructors to demonstrate weighing techniques without spending valuable class time on assembly. The adjustable legs accommodate a variety of bench heights, ensuring that students of different ages can operate the scale comfortably.
Field technicians who need portable weighing solutions can use the accessory with portable bench tops or temporary workstations. The ability to level the scale on uneven surfaces ensures reliable data collection even in remote or makeshift labs.
Overall, the accessory supports any scenario where scale stability is paramount, from quality‑control labs to pharmaceutical formulation rooms, delivering consistent performance across diverse applications.

FAQ
Can the foot‑adjustable accessory be used with non‑Ohaus scales?
Yes, the accessory fits any scale that uses the standard four‑hole mounting pattern, provided the load capacity matches the scale’s specifications.
How do I level the scale after installing the accessory?
Place the scale on a flat surface, loosen each leg screw slightly, adjust the height of each foot until the bubble level on the scale reads centered, then retighten the screws.
What maintenance is required to keep the accessory in optimal condition?
Periodically wipe the legs with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust or chemical residues, and inspect the screws for tightness. No lubrication is needed due to the self‑lubricating coating.
