MLT Leveling System 250 Piece Reusable Caps

Mechanical Lippage Tuning Tile Leveling System 250 Piece Re-Usable Caps

The MLT system has three major components: Reusable Caps, Reusable Straps, and Base Plates. This system achieves the least amount of waste possible. With four different base plates to choose from depending on the type of material, in addition to cap accessories, such as the rubber foot for soft stone, the MLT Professional Lippage Tuning System can be tailored to each specific job.

Features

• Designed and engineered to be disengaged under tension to allow cleaning of grout joints and seams or to re-position the tiles/slabs just with a slight side pressure
• To guarantee the perfect alignment and plane during the curing of the setting material
• Base Plates for Porcelain, Thin Tile, Porcelain, and Stone with even offset joints
• Re-usablRe-usablecan be used multiple times, lowering overall expense
• No need to pre-soak Base Plates
• Rubber Feet and Steel Tongue Inserts for Caps avoid scratching and extend Cap life
• Counter sinkholes in Base Plates aid in fastening ceiling applications
• Base Plate design allows for maximum thin-set coverage without hollow spots
• The slot on the top of the cap will accept a Stainless Steel tongue insert in cases where the ratcheting teeth may become worn. This will significantly prolong the working life of each cap

MLT System Installation

• Pre-assemble reusable connecting tab and base plate
  
• Push the stainless steel portion of the re-usable connecting tab through the center opening of the selected base plate
  
• Align protuberances by passing them entirely through the slotted openings of the stainless steel connecting tab
• Pull the connecting tab until the "snap lock" engages
  
• The base plate should remain affixed to the re-usablre-usableing tab unless separation is desired
• Insert pre-assembled, re-usable connecting tab and base plate under the tile or stone edge, sliding the connecting tab's base plate under the tile or stone being installed, at approximately 3" from the corners (MLTSystem components may be used for the corners of offset pattern, in the "T" intersection of porcelains having a minimum thickness of 3/8")
• The spacing of each re-usable connecting tab should not exceed 20" to 24" apart during installation
• Do not place them under a four-corner junction, as lippage may result and also significantly increase the difficulty of producing a straight grout joint line
• Once the pre-assembled, re-usable connecting tab and base plate are in place, proceed using standard installation procedures
• Upon completing the "set" of the tile or stone, lower the tension locking cap over the re-usable connecting tab to the tile or stone surface, then slide the cap in the direction of the grout joint to engage the lock
• Place the installation/removal tool atop the tension locking cap to engage the re-usable connecting tab and tension MLT System to create a lippage-free surface
• If additional cleaning of the grout joint line is required after the MLT System has been tensioned, remove the cap, clean the joint line, re-engage the cap, and re-tension
• To remove the set tension setting, dial on "S" for "Snap." Place the installation/removal tool atop the re-usable cap and engage the re-usable connecting tab
• Collect and store all re-usable connecting tabs and re-usable tension locking caps for future use
• When using the MLT System for installations of thin tile, un-glazed, or highly polished materials, it is strongly recommended to use the fitted Rubber Pad accessory under the re-usable tension locking cap
