Tilt Lock

Tilt Lock Base Mounted Spigots

Tilt lock base mounted spigots are the smart solution for pool fences where you need adjustability and strength. Perfect for pool fencing, balconies, and commercial installations, these innovative spigots allow you to fine-tune glass angles while maintaining rock-solid stability.

When you're installing glass balustrades or windscreens, getting the perfect angle isn't always straightforward. That's where tilt lock base mounted spigots come into their own. These clever bits of hardware give you the flexibility to adjust glass panels after installation, making them ideal for surfaces that aren't perfectly level or where you need to compensate for drainage requirements.

The beauty of base mounted tilt lock spigots lies in their engineering. Unlike fixed spigots, they incorporate a locking mechanism that lets you tilt the glass to the exact angle you need, then lock it securely in place. This means you're not fighting against uneven surfaces or trying to shim things up to get the right alignment.

Most tradies appreciate how these spigots save time on site. You can bolt them to your concrete or timber base, slot in your glass panels, adjust to the perfect angle, and lock everything down tight. No mucking around with multiple attempts to get things level. No callbacks because the glass wasn't quite right.

Installation and Application

Base mounted tilt lock spigots work brilliantly for pool surrounds where you need that slight outward tilt for water runoff. They're also perfect for windy coastal locations where you might need to angle windscreens to deflect prevailing winds. Commercial projects love them too, especially when you're dealing with large expanses of glass that need precise alignment.

The load-bearing capacity is serious too. Quality tilt lock spigots are engineered to handle significant wind loads and the weight of thick toughened glass. They're typically manufactured from marine-grade stainless steel, so corrosion isn't going to be an issue even in harsh coastal environments or around chlorinated pool water.

Technical Specifications

When you're speccing these for a project, you'll want to consider glass thickness compatibility. Most tilt lock base mounted spigots handle glass from 10mm up to 21mm thick. The adjustment range typically allows for angles between 0 and 15 degrees from vertical, giving you plenty of flexibility for different applications.

The base plate size matters for structural integrity. Standard sizes are usually around 100-120mm diameter, which spreads the load nicely across your mounting surface. You'll need to ensure your substrate can handle the concentrated loads, particularly for taller glass installations or high-wind areas.
