Venlo BUILDTUFF COMPOSITE SPIGOT User manual

IMPORTANT INFORMATION WHEN
WORKING WITH TOUGHENED GLASS
ALWAYS Inspect each glass panel for damage prior to installing.
DO NOT rest or place the glass panels on hard surfaces, such as tiles,
concrete, other glass panels and metal surfaces.
DO NOT attempt to cut, drill or grind the glass panel in any way.
DO NOT use abrasive cleaners or powders to clean the glass panels.
DO NOT use any acidic or caustic silicone or chemicals on any part of the
fencing assembly.
DO NOT impact or scratch the glass panels with any sharp metallic object.
DO NOT knock one glass panel against another glass panel. Take special
care to avoid any impact during the installation.
DO NOT install the glass panels by yourself. We recommend a minimum of
two people to lift the glass as the panels are heavy and doing so may result
in injury.
DO NOT rest the edge of the panel directly on any hard surfaces during
installation. Always cushion the edges with cardboard, soft timber or rubber mat.
If you have any further concerns or questions,
please contact us on 07 3283 1196 or www.buildtuff.com.au
When handling glass always wear appropriate personal protective
equipment for protection in the unlikely event of glass breakage. Two
person lift required when lifting glass or heavy objects.

STEP 7
Slide the Dress Plate around the base, and snap on the nal
piece. Should the Dress Plate require xing to the ground,
we recommend applying silicone liberally underneath the
Dress Plate.
STEP 9
Turn the glass panel upside down on a soft/protective
surface and using a rubber mallet, gently tap the spigot
into the glass panel. Ensure when tapping on the spigot
to exercise control and only strike on the base from a
direct angle and not from the side.
Once positioned check all measurements are correct
and ensure the spigot is installed on a 90 degree angle.
NOTE: If you are having trouble sliding the glass into the
post, spray a water and detergent mix between the spigot
and glass.
Using the post spacing chart (on reverse) determine the
location of the spigot. Mark the spigot position on the
chalk line remembering to allow for spacing between
the glass panels, panel gaps must not exceed 100mm.
Find the highest ground point of your area. This is
where your minimum fence height of 1200mm must
be taken from.
Set your fence perimeter using a chalk line. This will be
the centre line of your fence.

STEP 6
Using two people lift the glass panel and lower in to the core
drilled holes. The bottom of the glass should rest on timber
blocks cut at the desired height. Ensure gaps below panels
do not exceed 100mm
Level the glass panels both horizontally and vertically and
allow to rest in the core drilled holes. Place your next piece
of glass into core drilled holes making sure that the gap
between panels doesn’t exceed 100mm. Ensure all panels of
glass are perfectly aligned and that the top of every panel is
a minimum of 1200mm from ground level. Repeat this along
the distance of your fence.
Core drill the holes using a minimum 76mmø core drill
bit making the hole depth base a minimum of 160mm
from the bottom of the glass panel. Carefully remove
the core debris and excess water ensuring that the core
hole is dry.
To calculate the hole depth, decide on how high you
would like the Glass Panel off the ground (check
with your local council and state regulations), then
subtract that gure from 160mm. This will give you the
recommended hole depth, this gure also allows for a
20mm channel to be created underneath the Spigot that
will ll with Grout to create more structural support.

STEP 8
Now that your fence is level and in place you are ready for
grout. We recommend Non Shrink Structural Grout. Mix the
grout to the manufacturer’s instructions. Pour the grout into
the core drilled holes letting it spread and ll the hole evenly.
Continue this until all holes are lled ush with the concrete
slab. Ensure all panels remain in their place and aligned.
After you have nished pouring clean any excess grout off
the Spigot using water and a silicone spatula. Allow 48hrs
before removing bracing.
Refer to gate manufacturer for hinge and latch gap specications.
