StrataRise Self Levelling Pedestal For Flooring And Decking Joist Supports - 41-66mm - (10 Pack)
StrataRise Multi-Level 4166 Self-Levelling Pedestals automatically compensate for slopes from 0° t...StrataRise Multi-Level 4166 Self-Levelling Pedestals automatically compensate for slopes from 0° to 5° and are adjustable in height from 41mm to 66mm. The adjustable height can be increased by using one or more of our QuickClick, bayonet fitting, extension pieces to achieve the required height range. The system can be extended to 500mm high, or more as required. The self-levelling pedestals make it easy to achieve perfect levelling of beams or joists for flooring or decking support. The system is easy to use and aids quick and professional installation. Each support has a threaded self-levelling head section, with a fixing flange with screw slot for attaching to the joist or beam. The head is wide enough to accept joists up to 3" (75mm) wide and is suitable for all common heights. For wider joists we recommend placing alternate pedestals from opposite sides of the joist. An easy to operate threaded adjustment ring makes raising or lowering the head really quick and precise. Height adjustments can be made without removing the joists thus allowing for extremely easy and fast installation. A large 200mm (8”) base plate provides stable support on most surfaces. Scribe marks are provided on the underside to assist in trimming for use at sides and corners of installations. An optional 3mm thick anti-slip rubber base ring is available for use on membranes, etc. This effectively reduces transmitted noise where decks are mounted on balconies or roof areas, as well as for floors in multi-occupancy buildings. 4166ML self-levelling pedestal supports are rated to withstand loads of 650Kg at their weakest setting, i.e. max. height adjustment with just one thread engaged. The normal spacing apart for the 4166ML-SL-DF is at 500 to 600mm centres for most projects, potentially saving up to 50% on units required for many projects when compared with other systems. Self-Levelling - 0° to 5° slopes Standard height adjustment from 41mm to 66mm, or higher with extenders Suitable for flooring and decking beam/joist levelling and support Very Quick and Easy installation for floors and decks.

Product Information
Full details
The StrataRise Self-Levelling Pedestal is designed for DIYers and professionals needing to create perfectly level flooring or decking on uneven surfaces. Its key benefit is the automatic slope compensation, allowing for quick and precise installations without complex adjustments. A potential caveat is the need for extension pieces for heights exceeding 66mm, which are sold separately.

FAQs
What is the maximum height achievable with these pedestals?
The standard height range is 41mm to 66mm. This can be extended using StrataRise QuickClick bayonet fitting extension pieces, allowing for heights of 500mm or more as required.
Can these pedestals be used on a waterproof membrane?
Yes, an optional 3mm thick anti-slip rubber base ring is available. This is recommended for use on membranes to prevent damage and reduce noise transmission.
What is the load capacity of a single pedestal?
Each StrataRise 4166ML self-levelling pedestal is rated to withstand loads of 650Kg, even at its weakest setting (maximum height adjustment with minimal thread engagement).
How do I ensure the joists are stable on the pedestal head?
The pedestal head is designed to accept joists up to 3" (75mm) wide. For wider joists, it is recommended to place alternate pedestals from opposite sides of the joist. Always ensure the joist is properly seated.
Do I need to remove the joist to adjust the height?
No, the threaded adjustment ring allows for height adjustments to be made easily without removing the joists, which significantly speeds up installation.
How far apart should I space the pedestals?
For most projects, the normal spacing for the 4166ML-SL-DF is at 500 to 600mm centres. This spacing can help optimize the number of units required.
What surfaces are these pedestals suitable for?
The large 200mm (8”) base plate provides stable support on most surfaces, including concrete, paving slabs, and compacted ground. For membranes, the optional anti-slip base ring is recommended.
Troubleshooting
Pedestal does not seem to level automatically.
Ensure the slope is within the 0° to 5° range. The self-levelling feature compensates for gradual slopes; very sharp inclines may require manual adjustment or alternative solutions.
Difficulty adjusting height.
Ensure the threaded adjustment ring is clean and free from debris. If resistance persists, check that the joist is not excessively forcing the mechanism. Remove the joist temporarily for adjustment if needed.
Joist is wider than the pedestal head.
For joists wider than 3" (75mm), straddle the joist by placing alternative pedestals from opposite sides of the joist for balanced support.
Instability after installation.
Verify that the base plate is fully in contact with a stable surface. Ensure all pedestals are adjusted to the correct height and that the joists are securely seated. Check that the spacing between pedestals is appropriate for the load.
Pros and Cons
Pros
Automatically levels slopes up to 5 degrees.
