Editor: View Mate All Glass Railing
“Glass pull rivets” (commonly called glass spigots, standoffs, or glass clamps) are the invisible heroes securing your frameless pool fence. Choosing the right type and material is paramount for safety and longevity.
Key Types & Functions:
1.Through-Panel Spigots:
Design: Bolts pass through the glass panel (requiring precision-drilled holes).
Use: Creates ultra-secure, rigid connections for posts or base channels. ([Image: Close-up of spigot penetrating glass])
Top/Bottom Clamp Systems:
Design: U-shaped clamps grip the glass edges without drilling through panels.
Use: Popular for minimalist designs; relies on structural-grade clamping force.
Critical Selection Factors:
Material: 316 Marine-Grade Stainless Steel
Why Essential: Only 316 SS withstands relentless pool chemicals (chlorine, saltwater) and humidity without corrosion. Cheaper 304 SS or aluminum will pit and fail, risking structural collapse. ([Image: 316 vs. corroded hardware comparison])
Load Rating & Certification:
Must meet ASTM F2090 or local pool barrier codes for impact/wind load resistance.
Minimum 8mm pin diameter for spigots; clamps require robust tension control.
Teflon/Composite Sleeves:
Insulate glass from direct metal contact, preventing stress cracks and ensuring uniform pressure distribution.
Professional Insight: Never compromise on hardware. Certified 316 stainless steel spigots/clamps with engineered load capacity are as vital as tempered glass itself. Substandard hardware voids safety compliance and risks catastrophic failure.
Secure Your Investment: Partner with installers using certified, corrosion-proof spigots. Your fence’s integrity depends on it.
