Spin Doctor Lippage Control System – 1/16 in., White, 2,000 per Box
The RTC Spin Doctor Lippage Control System 1/16 in. post is a white breakaway threaded tile leveling post, supplied 2,000 per bulk box, that holds adjacent tiles flush while the mortar cures.
The post sits under two adjacent tiles with its threaded stem projecting up through the joint. A reusable cap spins down that thread until both tiles are clamped flat against one another, and once the mortar has cured the stem breaks off at the base and the cap is recovered for the next job. RTC color-codes the four sizes, and white is the 1/16 in. code.
Key Features
- 1/16 in. (1.5 mm) joint width — the stem sets the joint as well as the level
- White is RTC's color code for the 1/16 in. size
- Breakaway threaded post: the stem snaps off at the base once the mortar has cured
- Screw-down system — the cap clamps by thread, with no pliers and no wedges
- 2,000 posts per bulk box — RTC's only bulk sizes are 1/16 in. and 1/8 in.
What's Included
- 2,000 Spin Doctor breakaway posts, 1/16 in. (1.5 mm)
- Caps and Clear View Shields are not included and are ordered separately
Who Is This For?
Tile setters and floor crews running 1/16 in. (1.5 mm) joints who need adjacent tiles held flush while the mortar sets. The joint width is fixed by the post, so the size must match the layout.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the bulk box the same post as the 250-piece box?
Yes. RTC's item table lists SD116BULK as the same 1/16 in. (1.5 mm) white breakaway post, packed 2,000 to a box instead of 250.
Do I need caps as well as posts?
The system has exactly three parts: the disposable breakaway post, the reusable red screw-down cap (SDCAP, 100 per box) and the optional Anti-Friction Clear View Shield (SDCVS). The posts and caps are bought separately, so a first order needs both.
Is a 2,000-piece box too many for a bathroom?
For a single small room the 250-piece box of the same 1/16 in. post is the sensible buy. The bulk box is aimed at production floors where posts run out mid-day.
Do lippage pliers work with these posts?
No. Pliers such as the Lippage Eliminator II are for wedge-and-clip systems, where a wedge is driven into a clip under tension. The Spin Doctor cap is threaded and is spun down by hand, so no tool is needed and pliers cannot tension it.
