GLAXOR Heavy-Duty 1-Way Spider Fitting with Fin Clamp – Stainless Steel Facade Hardware

The GLAXOR 1-Way Spider Fitting with Fin Clamp serves as a critical structural anchor at the perimeter of a glass facade. It connects the exterior glass panel to the building’s internal framework using a vertical “glass fin” (a thick, structural glass beam).

Installation begins by sliding the two parallel clamping plates of the spider fitting over the edge of the structural glass fin. High-tensile bolts are passed through precision pre-drilled holes in the fin. Crucially, these bolts are encased in thick, integrated white nylon isolation sleeves. As the heavy-duty nuts are tightened down, the parallel plates compress securely against the fin. The protective sleeves ensure that the rigid stainless steel never makes direct contact with the glass, preventing point-stress and cracking.

Once the base is securely clamped to the fin, the single extending arm acts as the robust anchor point for the exterior edge glass panel. A point-fixing routel is installed through the eyelet of this arm to securely grip the exterior pane. This mechanical assembly effectively and safely transfers the weight and dynamic wind loads from the exterior edge panel into the sturdy internal glass fin.
