Description
A side-fix glass spigot that bolts to the face of a slab edge, stair stringer or fascia and holds a frameless toughened glass panel 10 to 13.52mm thick, in grade 316 (marine grade) stainless steel with a satin brushed finish. The 142mm back plate screws flat to the structure, the bottom edge of the glass sits on a rubber setting block in its foot, and a 134mm front plate clamps the glass with two M8 countersunk screws through the glass, on rubber gaskets and bushes so the glass never touches metal. Because the spigot sits on the face, the full floor or tread stays clear right up to the edge. The price shown is for one spigot.
What you get

Why choose this spigot
Clear floor to the edge. Side fixing puts the spigot on the face of the slab or stringer, so nothing stands on the balcony floor, stair tread or deck, and the glass looks as if it rises straight out of the edge.
Grade 316 for outdoor and coastal work. 316 stainless contains molybdenum, which resists the chlorides in sea air, pool water and de-icing salt far better than 304, so it suits balconies, terraces and external stairs as well as indoor work.
Positive clamping through the glass. Two M8 screws pass through holes in the glass and pull the front plate tight, so the glass is held mechanically, not just by friction. Rubber bushes line the holes and gaskets sit on both faces.
Neat, slim profile. Only 50mm wide and 33mm deep, with chamfered edges and flush countersunk screws, it stays discreet on a fascia or stringer.

Fitting
Set out the spigots along the edge, usually two per panel, and fix each back plate flat to the slab, stringer or fascia with suitable stainless anchors or bolts through the two countersunk holes, keeping the feet level. The glass must be drilled before toughening with two holes 50mm apart to line up with the clamp screws, so confirm the hole positions and size with us or your glass supplier before ordering the glass. Fit the setting blocks, gaskets and bushes, lower the glass onto the feet, fit the front plates and tighten the M8 screws evenly. Do not overtighten on laminated glass.
Safety. Use toughened or toughened laminated safety glass only. Spigot spacing, glass thickness, fixings and the strength of the structure for a guarding balustrade must be set by whoever designs and signs off the job, to BS 6180 where it applies.
Care
Wipe with warm soapy water and a soft cloth, and rinse with fresh water near the sea or a pool. Do not use wire wool or chloride cleaners, which can mark the satin finish.
Frequently asked questions
Is the price for one spigot?
Yes. One complete spigot with its screws, bushes, gaskets and setting block. Most panels need two.
What glass does it take?
Toughened or toughened laminated glass from 10mm to 13.52mm thick, drilled for the two clamp screws.
Does the glass need holes?
Yes. The two M8 screws pass through the glass, so each panel needs two holes per spigot, drilled before toughening.
Are fixings into the wall or slab included?
No. Choose stainless anchors or bolts to suit concrete, steel or timber.
Can it be used outdoors?
Yes. Grade 316 suits balconies, terraces and coastal sites. For pool surrounds or exposed seafronts, the 2205 duplex side-fix spigot gives extra corrosion resistance.
