Description
A 316 stainless clamp that joins two frameless glass panels standing in a straight line. The oval body straddles the gap between the panels: the edge of one panel goes into each end, a 14mm web in the middle sets the gap, and two countersunk screws close the clamp onto both panes through rubber gaskets. Use two per joint, near the top and bottom, to tie a run of panels into one screen for pool fences, terraces, windbreaks and partitions. It takes 8mm or 10mm glass. The price shown is for one clamp.

Why choose this clamp
Panels work together. A frameless panel on its own flexes at its free edges. Clamping neighbouring panels edge to edge turns a run of single panels into one stiffer screen.
Clean on one side. The screws are on one face only; the other face is plain brushed stainless, so you can turn the plain side towards the view, the pool or the street.
316 for outdoors. 316 stainless contains molybdenum, which gives it much better resistance to salt and chlorine than 304, so it suits pool fences, coastal terraces and windbreaks.

|---|---|

Fitting
Install and level the glass panels first in their base channel or clamps, with a 14mm gap between them. Fit the rubbers for your glass thickness in both halves of the clamp. Place the halves either side of the joint so each panel edge sits fully in the clamp, fit the safety pins if the glass is drilled for them, and tighten the two countersunk screws evenly with a hex key until the glass is held firm. Do not over-tighten on the glass.
Safety. The clamps join the panels but do not hold the glass up. Use toughened or toughened laminated safety glass, and have the balustrade or fence, its glass and fixings designed and signed off by whoever is responsible for the job, to BS 6180 where it applies.
Care
Outdoors, rinse with fresh water and wipe along the grain every few weeks, more often near the sea or a pool, so salt and chlorine do not leave brown tea staining. Use warm soapy water; avoid chlorine bleach, wire wool and scouring pads.
Frequently asked questions
Is the price for one clamp?
Yes, one clamp with its rubbers, two screws and two safety pins. Most joints use two clamps.
Will it take 12mm glass?
No, it comes with rubbers for 8mm and 10mm glass.
Do I need to drill the glass?
Only if you use the optional safety pins, which need a 10mm hole in each panel, drilled before the glass is toughened.
Can it be used by a pool?
Yes, that is what 316 is for. Rinse it with fresh water now and then.
