FAQs
What is the maximum material thickness this runner can clamp onto?
The Faithfull Brick Line Runner is designed for materials ranging from 90mm to 120mm in thickness.
Is this product suitable for outdoor use?
Yes, it is constructed from durable engineering plastic with a stainless-steel spring, making it weather-resistant for on-site conditions.
How do I attach the brick line?
You simply tie your brick line securely to the designated loop on the runner.
What makes this different from traditional line blocks?
It offers a faster and more efficient way to set up lines, using spring-loaded jaws for quick clamping instead of traditional pegs and blocks.
Will the anti-slip pads damage surfaces?
The anti-slip pads are designed to provide grip without causing damage to most common building materials.
Can I use this on thin materials like plasterboard?
No, the runner is designed for thicker materials between 90mm and 120mm and would not be suitable for thin materials.
Troubleshooting
Runner not clamping securely
Ensure the material thickness is within the 90mm-120mm range. Check that the spring mechanism is free from debris and operating smoothly. Verify that the anti-slip pads are clean and making contact with the surface.
Line keeps slipping from the runner
Ensure the brick line is tied very securely to the runner's loop. Check that the runner itself is clamped firmly to the material and not slipping.
Runner feels stiff or difficult to open
Inspect the spring mechanism for any dirt, grit, or obstructions. Clean gently and ensure the jaws move freely. Lubrication is generally not required due to the stainless-steel spring.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: To set up the Brick Line Runner, first tie your brick line securely to the designated loop on the runner. Then, identify a suitable edge on your working material (e.g., the top of a brick course, a scaffold board, or a timber frame) with a thickness between 90mm and 120mm. Open the spring-loaded jaws by pulling them apart, position the runner onto the edge of the material, and release the jaws to clamp it firmly in place. Repeat for the other end of the line.
Compatibility: This runner is designed for materials ranging from 90mm to 120mm in thickness. It is ideal for use with standard bricklaying lines. Ensure the material it clamps onto is rigid enough to support the line tension.
Care: Clean the runner with a damp cloth after use to remove dust and debris. Store in a dry place to prevent corrosion of the stainless-steel spring. Avoid using abrasive cleaners.
