Frequently Asked Questions
What is a refractory pogo stick?
A refractory pogo stick is an adjustable, spring-loaded support used to temporarily hold refractory brick and other masonry materials in position during installation or repair. Unlike pneumatic tampers that are sometimes also called pogo sticks, refractory pogo sticks are non-powered support tools designed to provide steady pressure against brickwork.
The adjustable steel extension allows the support to be set to the required working height, while the internal spring mechanism maintains pressure against the material. This can make positioning refractory brick easier during vertical, overhead and arch installations.
How are refractory pogo sticks used?
Refractory pogo sticks are positioned beneath or against refractory brick to provide temporary support while brickwork is installed, aligned or repaired. The adjustable extension rod is set to the required height and secured, while the spring-loaded mechanism maintains pressure against the brick.
Common applications include:
- Refractory brick installation
- Kiln and furnace maintenance
- Overhead brickwork
- Brick arch installation and formwork
- Fireplace construction and repair
- Industrial masonry maintenance
Which refractory pogo stick do I need?
Choose the model based primarily on the working height and required load capacity:
AP-12: For working heights from 2 to 4 feet and loads up to 14 lbs.
AP-17: For working heights from 4 to 6 feet and loads up to 24 lbs.
AP-27: For working heights from 6 to 8 feet and loads up to 35 lbs.
