Check the fit

Choose it after checking the tile and mortar instructions. If the instructions call for a different shape or smaller notch, compare another model before deciding.

When to choose it

The RTC TR1412U is the stainless U-notch option with a 1/4-by-1/2-inch designation. Check both measurements and the U profile when the installation instructions specify a notch, since a square-notch tool can have similar numbers but a different working edge.
