MLT Leveling System Ergonomic Gun MLT Systems introduces the industry’s latest technology in Mechanical Lippage Tuning. Consisting of three major components (Reusable Cap, Reusable Strap, and Base Plate), this system achieves the least amount of waste possible. Four different Base Plates, depending on the type of material, and Cap accessories, such as the rubber foot for soft stone, allow the stone Professional Lippage Tuning System to be tailored to each job. Features Protective rubber is to be applied on the cap to prevent scratches and markings during the tiling of polished marble and Stone 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 Reusable straps can 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-assemblreusablele 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-usable connecting 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 (MLT System components may be used for the corners of an 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 reusable connecting tabs and 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 reusable re-usable tension locking cap MLT GUN Specifications Position Material Locking Force 1 Marble, Stone 52.91 lbs 2 Thin Tiles 61.73 lbs 3 Regular Porcelain 70.55 lbs 4 Regular Porcelain 79.37 lbs 5 Snaps Strap -
