Fitting a threaded stem

  • Measure the thread: 5/16 in diameter and 1 in long, and match the insert or tapped hole in your furniture.
  • Thread it in by hand and snug it; do not over tighten into wood inserts.
  • Four casters at 75 lb each carry about 300 lb in total on a level floor.

Twin nylon wheels

Two narrow wheels turn more easily than one wide wheel and spread the load. Hard nylon rolls well on carpet but can mark or scratch soft floors.
