What Makes Hercules Spigots Different?
When you're working on pool fencing, balustrades, or commercial glass projects, you need hardware that won't let you down. Hercules core drilled spigots are designed specifically for demanding installations where standard spigots just won't cut it.
These spigots use a friction-fit installation method that makes your job easier. You drill the hole, insert the spigot, and you're done. No fussing with chemical anchors or waiting for adhesives to cure.
Built for Australian Conditions
Australia's harsh environment demands hardware that can handle extreme weather, salt air, and constant UV exposure. That's exactly what Hercules spigots deliver.
Heavy Duty Construction
Engineered from marine-grade stainless steel to withstand extreme weather conditions and high wind loads.
Friction Fit Design
Secure installation without visible fixings, creating a clean, professional finish every time.
Versatile Application
Suitable for pool fencing, balustrades, commercial installations, and architectural glass projects.
Multiple Finishes
Available in brushed stainless steel, polished, and powder-coated options to match any design specification.
Installation Advantages
Hercules spigots offer significant benefits for installers and specifiers alike. The core drilling method provides superior load distribution compared to surface-mounted alternatives. This translates to safer installations that meet Australian building codes and standards.
The spigots work with glass thicknesses from 10mm to 12mm, covering most residential and commercial applications. They're suitable for both frameless and semi-frameless installations.
Installation time is significantly reduced with the friction-fit design. There's no need for chemical anchors or extensive fixing hardware. Simply drill, insert, and secure your glass panels. This efficiency means you can complete more jobs in less time.
The optional cover plate system provides additional versatility. When surface conditions require extra support or a finished appearance, cover plates integrate seamlessly with Hercules spigots. This gives you options for different substrate conditions and aesthetic requirements.
Frequently asked questions
The term “18mm threaded spigots” usually refers to pool fence spigots installed using an M18 threaded fixing rod. The threaded rod is typically anchored into a suitable concrete substrate as part of the spigot installation.
The 18mm measurement generally describes the thread diameter, not the thickness of the glass. Always check whether a product specification refers to an M18 fixing or glass around 18mm thick.
The Hercules products shown on this page are core-drilled, friction-fit spigots rather than spigots installed using an M18 threaded rod.
Hercules core-drilled spigots are designed to sit within a prepared core hole and secure the glass using a friction-fit system. For a project specification that specifically requires an M18 threaded fixing, contact Elite Glass Solutions to confirm the correct spigot and fixing system before ordering.
Selected Hercules core-drilled spigots are suitable for glass from 17.52mm to 21.52mm thick. This range includes some laminated glass configurations with a nominal thickness of approximately 18mm.
The exact glass composition and finished thickness must match the nominated Hercules product. Check the product code and technical requirements before ordering the spigots or manufacturing the glass.
An M18 threaded spigot uses a threaded fixing rod to connect the spigot to the supporting substrate. Depending on the system, the rod may be chemically anchored into concrete.
A core-drilled friction-fit spigot is installed within a prepared core hole and holds the glass using internal friction components. This provides a clean, frameless appearance without a visible base plate.
The correct system will depend on the substrate, glass thickness, panel dimensions, engineering requirements and preferred installation method.
Core-drilled spigots can be used to create a strong, streamlined frameless glass pool fence when the complete system has been correctly selected and installed.
The spigot model, glass type, panel dimensions, spacing and substrate must all be suitable for the project. Pool fencing should always be installed in accordance with the applicable requirements for the installation location.
Hercules friction-fit spigots secure the glass without requiring fixing holes through the glass panel. This can simplify glass preparation while maintaining the clean appearance associated with frameless glass pool fencing.
Confirm the requirements of the selected product before the glass panels are ordered or manufactured.
Before selecting a Hercules spigot, confirm:
- The exact glass thickness and glass composition
- Whether the installation is core-drilled, base-mounted or side-mounted
- The type and condition of the supporting substrate
- The dimensions and weight of each glass panel
- The required stainless steel or powder-coated finish
- Any engineering, testing or certification requirements
- Whether the installation is in a coastal or other highly corrosive environment
Elite Glass Solutions can help match the spigot model to the glass and installation requirements.
An M18 threaded spigot and a Hercules core-drilled friction-fit spigot use different installation methods and should not be treated as direct replacements without reviewing the complete system.
Changing the spigot type may affect the required core holes, substrate preparation, glass position, panel height and engineering. Have the proposed replacement checked by an experienced glass installer, engineer or certifier before proceeding.
