Glassvice

Looking for reliable spigots for your next glass fencing project? Glassvice base mounted spigots deliver the strength and precision you need for frameless glass installations. They're designed for Australian conditions and built to last.

Glassvice Base Mounted Spigots for Glass Pool Fencing

When you're installing glass pool fencing the right spigot makes all the difference. Base mounted Glassvice spigots are engineered for stability and ease of installation. They provide a secure foundation for your glass panels while maintaining that clean, modern look your clients expect.

These spigots work by fixing directly to your base surface. The design allows for precise alignment of glass panels. You get a professional finish without visible fixing hardware cluttering up the view.

Key Features of Glassvice Spigots

Glassvice spigots stand out in the market for several reasons. They're built tough for Australian weather conditions. The materials resist corrosion from pool chemicals and salt air.

The friction fit technology ensures your glass panels stay exactly where you put them. No shifting over time. No annoying adjustments down the track.

Installation is straightforward. You don't need specialized tools or years of experience. The design accommodates standard glass thicknesses. This means less time on site and more jobs completed.

Australian Standards Compliant

All Glassvice spigots meet Australian safety standards for pool fencing and balustrades.

Corrosion Resistant

Marine-grade materials withstand harsh pool environments and coastal conditions.

Multiple Finishes

Choose from polished or brushed finishes to match your project specifications.

Friction Fit Design

Secure glass panels without visible clamps or unsightly fixing hardware.

Installation Benefits

Base mounted Glassvice spigots simplify your installation process. The base plate design distributes load evenly across your fixing surface. This reduces the risk of concrete cracking or surface damage.

You can adjust panel angles during installation. This flexibility helps you achieve perfect alignment even on slightly uneven surfaces. No need to rework your base preparation.

The fixing kit includes everything you need. No last-minute trips to the hardware store.

Frequently Asked Questions

 

Base mounted spigots are structural glass balustrade fittings that attach directly to a floor or base surface, providing support for frameless glass panels. These spigots feature a mounting plate that is secured to the substrate using anchor bolts, with an upright post that holds the glass panel in place through mechanical clamping or slotted channels. The base-mounted design eliminates the need for core drilling into the glass edge, making installation more straightforward and reducing the risk of glass damage during fitting.

Glassvice Base Mounted Spigots are typically designed to accommodate glass panels ranging from 10mm to 21.5mm in thickness, depending on the specific spigot model. Most standard models work with 12mm, 15mm, and 17.52mm laminated glass, which are common thicknesses for balustrade applications. It's essential to verify the exact specifications of your chosen spigot model to ensure compatibility with your glass thickness, as different load requirements and applications may require different configurations.

Glassvice Base Mounted Spigots are engineered to meet strict Australian Standards (AS 1170 and AS 1288) for wind loads and infill loads in balustrade applications. Load capacity varies depending on the spigot model, glass height, spacing between spigots, and the specific application environment. Standard residential applications typically support infill loads of 0.6 kPa, while commercial installations may require higher load ratings. Always consult the technical specifications and load tables provided by Glassvice, and engage a structural engineer for critical applications or non-standard installations.

Glassvice Base Mounted Spigots can be installed on various structural surfaces including concrete, steel plates, timber decking (with appropriate reinforcement), and composite decking systems. The mounting surface must be structurally sound and capable of supporting the required loads. For concrete substations, chemical anchors or expansion bolts are typically used. For timber or composite decks, installation may require steel reinforcement plates beneath the decking to distribute loads adequately. The substrate must be level and have sufficient thickness to ensure secure anchoring.

Yes, Glassvice Base Mounted Spigots are specifically designed for both indoor and outdoor applications. They are manufactured from marine-grade stainless steel (typically 316 grade) which provides excellent corrosion resistance in harsh Australian coastal and marine environments. The spigots feature weather-resistant finishes and drainage pathways to prevent water accumulation. For optimal longevity in coastal areas, regular maintenance including cleaning with fresh water is recommended to remove salt deposits. All fixing hardware should also be stainless steel to maintain the system's corrosion resistance throughout its service life.
