What is a glass spigot
Glass spigots are a type of metal fitting used to mount and support glass panels. They are available in a variety of shapes, sizes, and finishes.
The shape of the spigot is designed according the different place, while the size and finish of the spigot will depend on the size and thickness of the glass being used. Normally the spigots in Easiahome are used to mount the 12mm glass panels. In the below passage, we will introduce the types of spigots, such as mount on the ground with screw, mount to the wall and fix into concrete floors or wooden floors.
For the materials: spigots are usually made of stainless steel, such as duplex 2205, 316L, 316, 304 and so on, but can also be found in brass and other materials.
The different types of the spigots

oval holes, which have a certain tolerance
for the center distance of the pre-punched
holes on the ground.
*The cover of the base is split from the spigot,
much easier to install.
The parameter of the ADJ-BVL-GS:
The out size：50x50x200mm
The material：2205
The weight：2.23kg（including accessory）
The glass panel thickness：
Less than 12mm
The advantages：
*The product has an adjustable function at
the clamp mouth and the base. They make
installation much easier even when the ground
isn’t smooth.
*The product is equipped with 3 different bottom
spacers that can meet 35°
(optional spacers 30°, 40°) stairs
*The product is designed for stairs, which can perfectly
fit the stairs and glass, making the installation more beautiful.
Mount into the ground models:
LS-ASC，188SC285——used for high buildings or swimming pools
188SC285-P，188SC240-SP——much economic, used for swimming pools.
Installation method:
It is necessary to drill holes in the floor
before installation. And then fix them with
filling materials.
The parameter of the 188SC285
The out size：50x50x285mm
The material：2205
The weight：2.11kg（including accessory）
The glass panel thickness：
Less than 12mm
The advantages：
*The product has an adjustable function at
the clamp mouth. They make
installation much easier even when the ground
isn’t smooth.
*The product has excellent load-bearing effect
and can meet the load-bearing requirement
of 80kg or more.
Mount to the outside of the walls
ADJ-GW-GS，standoff series——used for
pools, staircases and glass curtain walls
The parameter of the ADJ-GW-GS
The out size：50x50x125mm
The material：2205
The weight：1.5 kgs（including accessory）
The glass panel thickness：
Less than 12mm
The advantages：
*The product is installed on the side of the
building
*The product has an adjustable function at
the clamp mouth. They make
installation much easier even when the ground
isn’t smooth.
*The product has excellent load-bearing effect
and can meet the load-bearing requirement
of 100kgs or more.
The differences between duplex 2205, 316 and 304
While all three of these steels possess similar properties, there are some key differences that should be taken into consideration when selecting one for a particular project.
Duplex 2205 is a stainless steel alloy with a two-phase microstructure consisting of austenite and ferrite. It offers a combination of high strength and corrosion resistance unmatched by other grades of stainless steel. It is often used in applications where high strength and corrosion resistance are required, such as high buildings, chemical and petrochemical processing, oil and gas extraction, and marine and coastal environments.
The most common grade of stainless steel used in most applications is 316. It is an austenitic stainless steel with good corrosion resistance, strength, and formability. It is also commonly used in many food and beverage applications, as well as in medical and marine environments. It is more resistant to corrosion than 304, but is less resistant to high temperatures.
Finally, 304 is the most commonly used grade of stainless steel for general purpose applications. It is an austenitic stainless steel with excellent corrosion resistance and formability. It is often used in kitchen and food processing applications, as well as in medical environments. It is also fairly resistant to high temperatures, making it a good choice for applications where heat may be an issue.
When selecting a grade of stainless steel, it is important to consider the properties and requirements of your project.
Duplex 2205 offers the highest strength and corrosion resistance of the three, making it suitable for harsh environments. 316 is a good choice for most applications and offers a balance of strength and corrosion resistance. 304 is the most economical option and is suitable for many general purpose applications.
In conclusion, each grade of stainless steel has its own unique properties that make it suitable for different applications. Duplex 2205, 316, and 304 are all viable options for many projects. When selecting a grade of stainless steel, it is important to consider the properties and requirements of your project in order to determine the best choice.
