Spin Doctor Lippage Control System – 3/16 in., Gray, 250 per Box
The RTC Spin Doctor Lippage Control System 3/16 in. post is a gray breakaway threaded tile leveling post, supplied 250 per 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 gray is the 3/16 in. code.
Key Features
- 3/16 in. (5 mm) joint width — the stem sets the joint as well as the level
- Gray is RTC's color code for the 3/16 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
- The widest joint RTC offers in this system, at 3/16 in. (5 mm)
What's Included
- 250 Spin Doctor breakaway posts, 3/16 in. (5 mm)
- Caps and Clear View Shields are not included and are ordered separately
Who Is This For?
Tile setters and floor crews running 3/16 in. (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
What joint does the gray post set?
Gray is RTC's color code for the 3/16 in. (5 mm) post, the widest joint in the Spin Doctor range — used where a wider grout line is specified or tile size variation needs the room.
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 this a base or a post?
RTC's own item table calls all four sizes breakaway posts. There is no separate base component in the system: it is post, cap and optional Clear View Shield.
Is there a bulk box of the 3/16 in. size?
No. RTC lists bulk 2,000-piece boxes for the 1/16 in. and 1/8 in. posts only; the 3/16 in. gray post is supplied 250 per box.
