Full details

The Tile Rite Big Spin Hurricane Level Caps are an essential component for professional tilers and serious DIY enthusiasts working with large format tiles.

FAQs

Are these caps compatible with standard thin tile systems?

No, these are specifically designed for tiles between 15-25mm thick and are not optimized for thin-set or standard 8-10mm tiles.

Do I need a special tool to tighten these?

No, the Big Spin Hurricane caps are designed to be tightened by hand, which helps prevent over-tightening and tile damage.

Can I use these with old Tile Rite bases?

Yes, they are fully compatible with the original Tile Rite Big Spin leveling system bases.

How do I clean the caps for reuse?

Wash them in water immediately after removing them from the wall or floor to prevent adhesive from hardening in the threads.

How many caps come in a pack?

The pack includes 100 individual reusable caps.

Can these be used on vertical wall tiling?

Yes, they are suitable for both wall and floor applications as long as the tile thickness meets the 15-25mm specification.

Troubleshooting

Cap will not screw onto the base

Check the thread for dried adhesive or grout buildup and clean with a wire brush if necessary.

Tile remains uneven after tightening

Ensure the base is properly centered beneath the tile edge and verify that no debris is trapped between the tile and the base.

Cap feels loose during installation

Verify that your tiles fall within the 15-25mm thickness range; if the tiles are too thin, the cap may bottom out before applying pressure.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable and reusable over multiple installations
  • No additional tools required for tightening
  • Effective at eliminating tile lippage on thick materials
  • Compatible with existing Big Spin system components

Cons

  • Requires purchase of specific Big Spin Hurricane bases
  • Not intended for tiles thinner than 15mm
  • Manual tightening may be slower than mechanical tool-assisted systems

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To begin, ensure you have the correct Big Spin Hurricane bases compatible with your tile thickness. Place the base beneath your first tile, then place the adjacent tile. Screw the Hurricane Cap onto the exposed thread of the base until the tiles are flush and secure.

Compatibility

  • Tiles: Suitable for large format porcelain, marble, and natural stone.
  • Thickness: Specifically designed for 15-25mm thickness.
  • System: Fully compatible with the original Tile Rite Big Spin range.

Care

After the mortar or adhesive has fully cured, simply unscrew the cap by hand. Remove any residual thin-set or grout from the cap threads immediately after removal to ensure they remain easy to screw on for the next job. Store in a clean, dry container to prevent debris from clogging the internal threading.
