Rubi YW Notched Large Format Tile Trowel – Model 72949
Professional Trowel for Superior Adhesive Coverage on Large-Format Tile
The Rubi YW Notched Large Format Tile Trowel (72949) is a precision-engineered installation tool designed to deliver exceptional adhesive coverage and flatness when setting large-format tile. Built by Rubi, this trowel features a unique YW notchback design that helps achieve up to 95% adhesive contact—significantly improving bond performance and reducing voids.
The YW notch pattern allows for smooth, efficient adhesive application and, in many applications, can reduce or eliminate the need for back-buttering (though back-buttering is still recommended as best practice). Constructed with heavy-duty hardened steel and reinforced by an ultra-light, high-resistance aluminum spine, this trowel maintains perfect plate flatness and rigidity for consistent results across large tiles.
An ergonomic Rubiflex handle with dual textures ensures comfort and control during extended installations, while a transparent protective glaze guards against corrosion for long service life.
