When you're installing glass pool fencing, the mounting system makes all the difference. Core drilled pool fence spigots offer a professional, streamlined installation method that's become the go-to choice for tradies and designers across Australia and New Zealand.

Unlike surface-mounted options, core drilled spigots sit flush with your concrete surface. They're drilled directly into the slab, deck, or patio, creating a friction-fit connection that's both secure and visually appealing.

How Core Drilled Spigots Work

The installation process is straightforward. You drill a hole into your concrete base at the exact diameter specified by the spigot manufacturer. The spigot body fits snugly into this hole, held in place by friction and adhesive.

Most core drilled spigots come with a cover plate that conceals the mounting point. This gives you that clean, minimal aesthetic that clients love. The glass panel slots into the top of the spigot, secured by grub screws or locking mechanisms.

The beauty of this system is its simplicity. There are no visible bolts, no surface plates breaking up your deck line, and no trip hazards. Just glass rising cleanly from your concrete surface.

Installation Considerations

Getting your core drilled spigots right starts with proper planning. You'll need to mark out your fence line accurately before you start drilling. Most building codes require specific spacing between spigots, typically 1200mm to 1500mm for standard glass panels.

The concrete needs to be thick enough to accommodate the spigot depth. Most core drilled spigots require a minimum concrete depth of 100mm to 150mm. If you're working with existing slabs, check the depth before committing to this mounting style.

You'll need a core drill bit in the correct diameter. These typically range from 50mm to 75mm depending on the spigot model. A quality diamond core bit makes the job easier and gives you cleaner holes.

Water cooling is essential when core drilling. It keeps your bit cool, reduces dust, and extends tool life. Most experienced tradies use a water-fed core drill system for this type of work.

Finish Options and Durability

Core drilled spigots come in various finishes to match your project requirements. Polished stainless steel offers a contemporary look that suits modern pool areas. Brushed finishes provide a more subdued appearance while still maintaining corrosion resistance.

Marine-grade stainless steel is standard across quality spigots. This matters in pool environments where chlorine, salt, and moisture create challenging conditions. Inferior materials will show corrosion within months. Quality spigots will still look good years later.
