Protective rubber feet can be applied on the cap to prevent scratches and markings during the tiling of polished marble and stone
Reusable cap can be disengaged after tensioning to allow for cleaning of grout joints and seams, or to re-position the tiles/slabs just with a slight side pressure
Guarantees perfect alignment and plane during the curing of the setting material
Different base plates can be used for porcelain, thin tile, and stone with 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 prevent scratching and extend cap life
Counter sink holes in base plates aid in fastening for ceiling applications
Base plate design allows for maximum thinset 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 greatly prolong the working life of each cap
MLT System Installation
Pre-assemble reusable connecting tab and base plate
Push stainless steel portion of the re-usable connecting tab through the center opening of the selected base plate
Align protuberances by passing them completely through the slotted openings of the stainless steel connecting tab.
Pull connecting tab until the "snap lock" engages
Base plate should remain affixed to 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 stainless steel strap insert will allow for a minimum of 0.5 mm (1/64") grout joint
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 greatly increase the difficulty to produce a straight grout joint line
Once the pre-assembled re-usable connecting tab and base plate is 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 tile or stone surface then, slide cap in direction of the grout joint to engage the lock
Place 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 grout joint line is required after MLT System has been tensioned: remove cap, clean joint line, re-engage cap and re-tension
To remove set tension setting dial on “S” for “Snap”. Place installation/removal tool atop 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 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
