The Proleveling System uses two components, a Leveler and a Cap, to both space and level wall and floor tile installations, virtually eliminating spacing and lippage problems. Unlike almost all other systems, the Levelers can also be used as tile spacers and no tensioning tool is required! They are available in Cross, Linear (straight) and ‘T’ shapes with spacer widths of 1 mm, 2 mm, 3 mm and 5 mm. The base of each Leveler has four holes for anchoring between the mortar and tile. The vertical legs of the Leveler rise from the base and act to space the tile. The legs are ‘coded’ for their millimeter width by the number of holes in one leg. The legs then join to the threaded stem of the Leveler, over which the Blue Tensioning Cap is hand tightened, leveling the tile. The Blue Cap can be threaded from either side to allow leveling of tile from 3 mm (1/8") to 40 mm (1-5/8") thick, and is easily loosened and adjusted without any tools. Once the tile has set, either kick the Blue Cap, or strike it with a mallet, in the direction of any two legs along the grout joint. This will cause the stem and leg portion of the Leveler to break just above the base. The Red Protection Cup (see below) is available for optional use as a protection against tile marking, and can be used for soft marble, onyx and other soft tiles. Use the Red Removal Cap (see below) to quickly remove the broken stem and leg portions from the reusable Blue Caps. All Levelers, Caps and the Cup are injection molded plastic, will not damage the tile in clean use and float in water for easy cleanup and collection.
