Product Information

Full details

The StrataRise Self Levelling Pedestal (2442LP-SL-DF) is designed for installers needing to create level floors or decks on sloping surfaces, particularly where low threshold heights are critical. Its key benefit is the automatic adjustment for slopes up to 5°, simplifying installation significantly. However, for wider joists, alternate placement may be required.

FAQs

What is the maximum slope the pedestal can accommodate?

The StrataRise 2442LP pedestal is designed to self-level slopes from 0° up to 5° automatically.

What is the standard height range of this pedestal?

The standard height adjustment range is from 24mm to 42mm. An extender ring is included to increase the height range.

Can I use these pedestals for external decking?

Yes, the 2442LP pedestal is suitable for both internal and external use.

How do I install the extender ring?

To fit the 9mm extender ring, lift the head section out of the base, insert the ring, and then replace the head section securely.

What is the load capacity of a single pedestal?

Each pedestal is rated to support a load of 650Kg when adjusted to its maximum height.

Is the rubber base ring included?

The rubber base ring is an optional accessory and is not included as standard with the pedestal.

How far apart should I space the pedestals?

The recommended spacing for the 2442LP-SL-DF is typically between 500mm and 600mm centres, depending on the project requirements and load.

Troubleshooting

Pedestal does not self-level correctly

Ensure the slope does not exceed the 0° to 5° limit. Check that the joist is centered on the head and that the adjustment ring is not over-tightened.

Difficulty adjusting height

Ensure the area around the adjustment ring is clear of debris. Try lifting the head slightly out of the base before turning the ring.

Instability after installation

Verify that the base plate is on a firm, stable surface. Ensure joists are properly secured to the fixing flange. Check that pedestals are spaced according to project requirements and load calculations.

Joist overhangs the pedestal head

For joists wider than 3" (75mm), ensure alternate pedestals are used on opposite sides of the joist for adequate support.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Automatically levels slopes up to 5 degrees, saving installation time.
  • Easy and fast height adjustment without needing to reposition joists.
  • Stable support with a large base plate and optional anti-slip ring.
  • Reduces the number of pedestals needed due to optimized spacing.
  • High load capacity ensures robust support for flooring and decking.

Cons

  • May require alternate joist placement for widths exceeding 3" (75mm).
  • The standard height range is limited to 24-42mm; extenders may be necessary for greater heights.
  • Optional anti-slip base ring is not included as standard.
  • Scribe marks for trimming require careful measurement for precise cuts.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

  1. Place the pedestal on the prepared sub-surface. The large 200mm base plate ensures stability.
  2. Position the joist or beam onto the head section of the pedestal. For joists up to 3" (75mm) wide, place the joist centrally on the head.
  3. For joists wider than 3" (75mm), place alternate pedestals from opposite sides of the joist.
  4. Turn the threaded adjustment ring to raise or lower the head section until the joist is at the desired height and level.
  5. Secure the joist to the fixing flange using appropriate screws.
  6. To adjust height further, the head can be lifted slightly out of the base. For increased height, insert the included 9mm extender ring between the head and base before re-engaging.

Compatibility

  • Suitable for all common joist and beam sizes up to 3" (75mm) wide as standard.
  • Compatible with most solid sub-surfaces like concrete, pavers, or existing structural elements.
  • Optional 3mm anti-slip, cushioning rubber base ring available for use on membranes, to reduce noise and provide grip.
  • Designed for internal and external use.

Care

  • Keep pedestals clean from excessive dirt or debris that could impede the adjustment mechanism.
  • Periodically check the stability of the installed structure.
  • For maintenance, a damp cloth can be used to clean the visible parts of the pedestal. Avoid harsh chemicals.
