VersiJack® Building Hints
Decks (Joist System)
• For design purposes, the total combined height of an EVJ-0000 (minimum height)
+ EA-SCT + EA-BH + 2x4” joist = 5-5/8.” This will be the minimum height to plan for at the
project’s starting point such as a door threshold or entryway.
• EA-BH supports joists from 1-1/2” to 3-1/2” wide on top of pedestal. Works with single or
twinned 2x4, 2x6, or 2x8 joists.
• Pedestal spacing with different sized joists:
Joist
Spacing
2x4” Joist
Pedestal every 24” max.
2x6” Joist
Pedestal every 30” max.
2x8” Joist
Pedestal every 36” max.
Twinned 2x4” Joist
Pedestal every 48” max.
5-5/8”
• Drive fastening screw through tabs of support to fasten joist in place.
Structural Hardwood Tiles
• Place pedestal along edge under tile after you snap off x2 aligned spacer tabs.
Corner pedestals will typically not require spacer tabs.
• Be sure tabs fit snugly up and into space between 2 boards.
• Structural hardwood tiles are typically light weight and may rock if not fastened.
• Use the EA-TF01 to fasten down corners of each tile.
* See “Wood Tile Fastener Installation” (page 10) for additional instruction.
Natural Stone and Hydrapressed Concrete Pavers
• If using a non-igneous sedimentary stone (e.g., sandstone), ensure it has appropriate thickness
to avoid failure.
• For natural stone, order extra 1mm (EA-01) and 2mm (EA-02) shims to create even surface due
to unequal tolerances of thicknesses.
• Be sure your concrete paver is “hydrapressed” type.
• Always place a 2mm shim on top of each pedestal.
• Never cut more than 1/3 of width or less than 8” wide for perimeter cuts.
Structural Porcelain Tile (3/4” thick)
• Always place a 2mm shim on top of each pedestal.
• Never cut more than 1/3 of width, or less than 8” wide or perimeter cuts.
Stone, Concrete and Porcelain Tile
• Use a “slab grabber” tool to lift up tiles.

Wood Tile Fastener Installation > Four Steps
Note: Wood tile fastener is designed to be used with pavers that have a 1/4” (6mm) edge groove.
The tile fastener is designed to sit atop the VersiJack pedestal without adding any additional height to the
pedestal assembly. When using the tile fastener, pavers will be spaced 1/4” (min. 0.2”) apart.
Step 1: Placing Tile Fasteners
If the tile lock is not already free
to move, loosen the screw that
holds it secure until the lock can
slide from side-to-side. Place
the tile fastener assembly onto
the pedestal and press into place.
Shift the lock to one side to allow
tiles to be placed.
Slide lock to one side.
Step 2: Place Tiles
Place the tiles upon the pedestal.
With two tiles placed, shift the
lock into the notches of the tiles
to allow placement of additional
tiles. Place the remaining tiles
onto the pedestal.
Tiles placed atop the spacer tab.
Shift lock into placed tiles.
Note: If the height of the pedestal support needs adjusting, it can be adjusted with the tiles in place and the spacer tab will
pivot independent of the pedestals allowing the tiles to stay in place.
Step 3: Secure Lock
With all four tiles in place,
shift the lock until it is
centered on the pedestal. It
may be necessary to use a
screwdriver or other tool to
access the lock between the
tiles. With the lock centered,
tighten the screw until the
lock is secure and will not
move.
Secured lock.
Handbook, VersiJack®Pedestal System 48-00404-00A
Step 4: Removal
Whether one or all tiles need
to be removed, the lock must
be unlocked. To unlock any
tile, the process is the reverse
of the locking procedure.
Loosen the screw enough to
allow the lock to slide from
side-to-side. Using a tool,
slide the lock away from the
tile to be removed. Do this
on all corners or where a
fastener secures the tile. With
all locks moved, the tile can be
removed.

Adjusting Pedestal Height > Five Steps
Step 1:
Hold base.
Step 3:
Rotate top section
clockwise to reduce
height.
Step 2:
Loosen locking ring.
Step 4:
Rotate top section
counter-clockwise
(as shown) to
increase height.
Step 5:
Once height is
adjusted, tighten
locking ring to
secure.
Shims > Using the EA-01, EA-02 1mm and 2mm Shims
Whole
Always use a 2mm
FA-02 whole shim
underneath stone
pavers, concrete
pavers, and structural porcelain tiles.
Half
Quarter
Stacked
EA-01 and EA-02
