Description
The Core Drill Glass Spigot is designed for frameless glass railing and fencing systems that require a clean, modern, floor-mounted appearance without a visible base plate. Its in-ground installation design allows the threaded lower shank to be installed directly into a core-drilled hole, creating a minimal and refined connection between the glass panel and the finished floor.
With a precision-machined glass slot, dual-side grub screw clamping, and a 316 stainless steel body, this glass spigot provides a combination of structural support, corrosion resistance, and contemporary appearance. The matte black powder-coated finish makes it particularly suitable for modern residential and commercial architectural projects.
In-Ground Installation Without a Visible Base Plate
Unlike conventional surface-mounted glass spigots that use an exposed base plate, this core-drilled design is installed below the finished floor line. The threaded lower shank is inserted into a core-drilled hole in concrete, timber, or composite decking and secured using epoxy or a suitable chemical anchor.
A transverse cross-hole in the threaded shank allows the anchoring compound to pass through the shank during installation. Once cured, the compound forms an additional mechanical lock around the fitting, helping increase pull-out resistance and improve connection stability.
This concealed mounting method keeps the floor surface visually clean and allows the glass railing to maintain a streamlined architectural appearance.
Dual-Side Clamping for Frameless Glass
The top section features a precision-machined slot that accepts glass panels between 8 mm and 12 mm thick. Two stainless steel set screws are positioned on opposite sides of the glass to secure the panel without requiring holes to be drilled into the glass.
The dual-side clamping structure helps distribute pressure across the glass edge while keeping the installation visually minimal. Eliminating the need for glass drilling also simplifies panel fabrication and provides greater flexibility during railing installation.
The result is a frameless glass system with fewer visible hardware elements and a cleaner overall appearance.
316 Stainless Steel for Demanding Outdoor Environments
The main body is manufactured from Grade 316 stainless steel using investment casting, providing the strength and corrosion resistance required for architectural applications.
316 stainless steel is well suited to environments where fittings may be exposed to moisture, salt air, or pool chemicals. This makes the spigot suitable for coastal properties, swimming pool areas, balconies, terraces, and other outdoor installations where corrosion resistance is an important consideration.
The precision-cast construction also allows the spigot to maintain a consistent shape and refined surface finish across production batches.
Matte Black Finish for Modern Architecture
The matte black powder-coated finish provides a contemporary alternative to traditional polished or brushed stainless steel hardware. Its understated appearance works particularly well with black-framed doors, windows, handrails, and other architectural components.
The powder-coated surface is designed to provide a durable finish for everyday architectural use while helping maintain a consistent visual appearance throughout the railing system.
For projects with a modern, minimalist, industrial, or luxury design concept, the black square body creates a strong and coordinated architectural look.
Square Profile for Clean Contemporary Design
The square body profile gives the glass spigot a structured and modern appearance. Its compact form complements frameless glass panels without visually overpowering the railing or fencing system.
The design can be incorporated into a range of floor-mounted glass applications, including straight runs, corners, balconies, terraces, pool perimeters, staircases, and other architectural areas where a clean glass barrier is required.
The standard height is 225 mm, with customization available for projects requiring different dimensions or installation configurations.
Applications for Residential and Commercial Projects
The Core Drill Glass Spigot is suitable for a variety of frameless glass systems, including:
-
Frameless glass pool fencing
-
Swimming pool safety barriers
-
Balcony glass balustrades
-
Terrace and deck glass railings
