Product Information
Full details
The RHINOBUILD Leveling Pins are designed for concrete professionals seeking to achieve consistent and level pour depths. The key benefit is their self-adhesive nature and clear dual-unit graduations, providing a visual guide for accurate application. A potential caveat is that they are sold in a package of 50, which may be more than needed for very small jobs.

FAQs
What material are the leveling pins made of?
The product description does not specify the material, but they are designed to be cuttable and adhesive.
Can these pins be used for tile setting?
These pins are specifically designed as guides for concrete pour depths, not for tile setting.
How many pins are recommended per square foot?
The number of pins needed depends on the project size and desired accuracy. For consistent results, place them at regular intervals, typically a few feet apart, and adjust based on the pour's complexity.
What is the maximum pour depth these pins can guide?
The inch scale goes up to 2-1/2 inches, and the millimeter scale goes up to 65 mm. You can cut the pins to achieve specific heights within this range or even slightly beyond if needed, but the markings only extend to these limits.
Are the RHINOBUILD Leveling Pins reusable?
These are single-use guide pins. Once the concrete cures, they are typically left in place and covered by the pour.
What is the benefit of self-adhesive pins over traditional methods?
Self-adhesive pins offer quicker setup and easier application without the need for additional adhesives or fasteners, saving time and effort during preparation.
Troubleshooting
Pins not adhering securely
Ensure the substrate is clean, dry, and free of dust. For extremely porous surfaces, a light primer might be necessary (test first).
Difficulty cutting pins to exact height
Use a sharp utility knife or specialized cutting tool for clean cuts. Ensure the pin is firmly supported while cutting.
Inconsistent pour depth achieved
Verify that all pins are set to the exact same height reference point and are securely adhered. Ensure the screeding process is consistent.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Ensures accurate and consistent pour depths.
- Dual measurement scales (inches and millimeters) offer flexibility.
- Self-adhesive backing simplifies application.
- Can be cut to specific height requirements.
- Provides a clear visual guide for leveling concrete.
Cons
- Sold in a pack of 50, potentially too many for small tasks.
- Adhesive may not perform optimally on very dusty or uneven surfaces.
- Requires manual cutting for custom heights.
- Primarily a visual aid; relies on user skill for perfect leveling.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Ensure the substrate surface is clean, dry, and free from dust or debris for optimal adhesion.
- Cut the leveling pin to the desired height using appropriate cutting tools. Refer to the inch or millimeter scale printed on the pin.
- Peel off the backing from the self-adhesive side.
- Firmly press the pin onto the substrate at the desired location, ensuring it is securely attached.
- Repeat for all necessary points across the pour area, maintaining consistent height.
Compatibility:
These leveling pins are designed for use on most concrete substrates, including concrete, wood, and prepared subflooring. They are suitable for interior and exterior applications where concrete or similar leveling compounds are being poured.
Care:
Once the concrete has cured, the leveling pins can be left in place and will be covered by the pour. If removal is necessary before curing, they can be carefully pried off. Clean any residual adhesive from tools or surfaces with a suitable solvent.
