These are the threaded posts for the Spin Doctor tile leveling system, the part that sits under the tile and does the actual lippage control. Each post slides under the exposed edge of the tile, a reusable cap threads onto the post, and spinning the cap down by hand pulls adjacent tiles into the same plane as the mortar cures. No wrench, pliers or wedge tool is needed; the free-spin design works with one hand, which is a real advantage when you are holding a large format tile in place with the other.
Posts come in three joint widths: 1/32 in. (red), 1/16 in. (white) and 1/8 in. (black), 250 to a box. The 1/16 in. and 1/8 in. posts also double as tile spacers, since the threaded base itself sets the joint width while the post holds the tiles level. The 1/32 in. post is built for a different job: a minimal, close-to-invisible joint on rectified tile, where leveling is the priority rather than spacing.
This listing is for the posts only; the caps are sold separately and are the reusable part of the system, meant to be used across many jobs. The posts, by contrast, are a leveling system tile spacer that is used once and left behind in the joint, so this box is what you restock between jobs or buy more of partway through a large one.
Posts are rated for tile up to 3/4 in. (20 mm) thick, on both floor and wall installations. Like any tile leveling system, they help with alignment and lippage control, but they are not a substitute for correct substrate prep, full mortar coverage under the tile, or a separate layout plan; use them alongside, not instead of, normal tiling practice.
Treating the 1/32 in. post as a true spacer in projects that need an exact, consistent joint width; use dedicated spacers for that
It is a tile lippage leveling system that uses a reusable cap threaded onto a spacer post to pull adjacent tiles into the same plane while the mortar cures. This listing is the threaded posts; caps are sold separately.
No, the caps are sold separately and are meant to be reused. This listing is for the threaded posts, which are used once per joint and then broken off.
1/32 in. (red), 1/16 in. (white) and 1/8 in. (black), 250 posts per box.
The 1/16 in. and 1/8 in. posts double as spacers, since the threaded base sets the joint width while it levels. The 1/32 in. post is built for a minimal joint on rectified tile and is better thought of as a leveling tool than a true spacer.
No. The free-spin cap design tightens by hand, so there is no pliers, wrench or wedge tool involved.
Up to 3/4 in. (20 mm).
It depends on your tile size and layout pattern. As a rough reference, about 2 posts per square foot is typical for 12 in. x 12 in. tile set in a four-corner pattern; larger tile needs fewer posts per square foot and smaller tile needs more. Buy extra for cuts and edges.
Yes, the system is suited to both floor and wall tile installations.
Once the mortar has cured, remove the caps, then break the posts off at the base, usually with a light tap from a rubber mallet or a kick. They snap off below the grout line.
The posts themselves are used once per joint and then broken off; they are not meant to be reinstalled. The caps are the reusable part of the system and work across multiple boxes of posts.
No. They help with leveling and lippage control, but they are not a substitute for proper substrate prep, full mortar coverage, or a planned layout, and where an exact, consistent joint matters, use dedicated spacers alongside them.

To determine approximate delivery time for your order shipped via UPS Ground, please locate the zone where the Ship-To address for your order is located. Note the color of that zone then check the number of days listed next to the color in the Transit Days Chart on the bottom right of the Zone Map. Please note that the delivery time is calculated beginning the day after your order has shipped.
Post count depends on your tile size and the spacing pattern you use, since larger tile needs fewer posts per square foot than smaller tile. As a general reference point, installers commonly use around 2 posts per square foot when setting 12 in. x 12 in. tile with a four-corner pattern; larger format tile typically needs fewer posts per square foot, and smaller tile needs more. Plan on extra posts for cuts, edges and any tile you need to re-level, and keep a reserve box on hand so you are not stopping mid-room to restock.
