stainless steel railing spigot

About stainless steel railing spigot

A railing spigot is a clamp-like base mount made of stainless steel that holds toughened or laminated glass panels vertically without the need for bulky frames.

Main Features

• Material: Typically made from SS 304 or SS 316 stainless steel
  • SS 316 is preferred for outdoor or coastal areas (better corrosion resistance)
• Design: Minimal, modern, and frameless appearance
• Finish options: Mirror polish, satin (matte), black powder-coated
• Glass compatibility: Usually supports 10mm12mm thick toughened glass
• Mounting types:
  • Surface mount (floor-mounted)
  • Side mount (fascia mount)

How It Works

• The spigot is fixed to the floor or structure using anchor bolts.
• Glass panels are inserted into the slot and secured with rubber gaskets or tightening screws.
• No drilling in glass is required (in most designs).

Common Applications

• Balcony glass railings
• Swimming pool fencing
• Staircase railings
• Terrace barriers
• Commercial spaces (malls, offices)

Advantages

• Clean, modern look (frameless)
• Strong and durable
• Rust-resistant (especially SS 316)
• Easy to install and maintain
• Provides clear, unobstructed views

Considerations

• Must use high-quality toughened or laminated glass
• Proper alignment and installation are crucial for safety
• Slightly higher cost than traditional railing systems
