Tuscan Leveling System Straps Supplied by Pearl Abrasive The Tuscan Leveling System minimizes lippage between tiles by interlocking them while the setting material cures. This saves time and cuts costs. Features Regular straps designed for use with gauged (uniform thickness) tile 12'' or larger Use with ceramic, marble, onyx, granite, and most other composites 2-piece system (strap and cap) that virtually eliminates lippage during tile installation Strap thickness: 1/32" Passes standard industrial (TCNA Robinson) compression test Very easy to learn and use at any skill level Prevents tiles from moving while curing More profitable for the installer Reduces installer fatigue/stress Virtually lippage-free mirror flat surface drastically reduces the need for grinding and polishing Before Use Each time a new box of straps is opened, they must be soaked in lukewarm water for 2 hours or hot water for 30 minutes before use. Soaking is one time only The nylon strap is designed to absorb moisture so it will stretch during installation. This strap is engineered in a way that as the mortar is drying, it pulls the moisture out of the strap, making the strap more brittle so that the strap can snap off cleanly after the setting material drying is complete
