Tools Required
Before installation, prepare the following tools:
- Measuring tape
- Marker pen
- Electric drill
- Expansion anchor bolts
- Socket wrench
- Spirit level
- Glass suction lifters
Using the correct tools will help ensure accurate installation and alignment.
Step 1: Mark the Installation Positions
Position the first Glass Spigot approximately 100 mm from the edge of the glass panel.
Mark the fixing points for all remaining spigots and ensure the spacing is consistent throughout the railing system.
Step 2: Drill the Mounting Holes
Drill the mounting holes according to the spigot base dimensions.
For tile or stone surfaces, avoid hammer drilling to prevent surface damage. The recommended hole depth is typically 80 mm or deeper.
Step 3: Secure the Glass Spigots
Insert the expansion anchor bolts and tighten the Glass Spigots firmly to the surface.
Use a level to ensure all spigots are aligned correctly before fully tightening the bolts.
Step 4: Install the Glass Panels
Carefully place the tempered glass panels into the Glass Spigots.
Adjust the glass position and ensure the panel remains level and properly aligned.
Step 5: Tighten the Fixing Screws
Tighten the fixing screws to securely hold the glass panel in place.
Double-check all connections and make sure the glass remains stable without movement.
Choose the Right Glass Spigot Material
For indoor projects, SS304 Glass Spigots are a cost-effective and durable option.
For outdoor and coastal environments, SS316 or Duplex 2205 Glass Spigots are recommended because of their superior corrosion resistance.
