Product Information
Full details
The Performance Power Brick Line is an essential tool for masons, bricklayers, and landscapers seeking high-precision alignment in their construction projects. Its primary benefit lies in the high-visibility yellow cord, which allows for clear sight lines across long distances, ensuring perfectly level and straight courses. However, users should be aware that this product is designed specifically for use with line pins and does not include them, requiring a separate purchase to secure the line effectively.

FAQs
Does this product come with line pins?
No, the Performance Power Brick Line is sold as a standalone cord. You will need to purchase line pins separately.
Can this be used for indoor projects?
Yes, it works well for indoor tiling or partition wall layout where clear, straight lines are required.
Is the line resistant to water and mud?
The synthetic material is water-resistant, though it should be cleaned after exposure to mortar or mud to ensure longevity.
Will this line stretch over time?
It is designed to have minimal stretch, but excessive force during tensioning may cause slight elongation over years of heavy use.
What is the best way to store the line?
Store it in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight to prevent UV degradation of the synthetic fibers.
Troubleshooting
The line is sagging between points.
Increase tension on the line pins or decrease the distance between your intermediate support pins.
Line keeps slipping off the pins.
Ensure the pin is driven deep into the mortar joint and use a proper tensioning knot or wrap the line twice around the pin hook.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the brick line, attach one end firmly to a masonry line pin inserted into a mortar joint, then extend the line to the opposite pin, ensuring sufficient tension to eliminate any sag. The line is compatible with all standard masonry line pins. For care and maintenance, avoid dragging the line across jagged or abrasive surfaces, which can fray the synthetic fibers. After use, wind the line neatly back onto a spool or around the pins to prevent tangling. If the line becomes covered in wet mortar, rinse it with clean water and let it air dry completely before storing to prevent long-term degradation of the cord material.
