Non‑Conductive Spigots for Glass Pool Fencing.

If you're planning a glass pool fence or balustrade, non-conductive spigots might be the smartest hardware decision you'll make. These clever fittings don’t just look great — they also help you comply with Australian safety standards without the hassle of electrical grounding.

Non‑conductive spigots are support fittings designed for frameless glass fencing that don’t require earthing.
Earthing (also called grounding) is a safety measure where metal components are connected to the earth to prevent electric shock if they accidentally become electrically charged.
These spigots are insulated using special materials that do not conduct electricity, making them much safer to use near water — especially around pools.

Non-conductive spigots help you meet legal pool fencing regulations in Australia — specifically:
- AS/NZS 3000:2018 (Wiring Rules): Requires any conductive (metal) component within 1.25 m of pool water to be earthed.
- AS 1926.1‑2012: Governs swimming pool safety barriers, including the placement and materials of fence components.

If your spigots are non-conductive, you don’t need to run earthing cables — which saves time, money, and complexity during installation.

Discover why non‑conductive spigots are the ideal choice for glass pool fencing in Australia. No earthing required, corrosion-resistant, UV-stable, and fully compliant with AS/NZS 3000. Perfect for saltwater and outdoor use — safe, stylish, and built to last.

Frameless glass balustrades and pool fencing have become standard elements in modern Australian architecture, valued for their durability, safety, and aesthetic versatility. Selecting the appropriate glass for these applications involves understanding the technical specifications and visual qualities that align with structural and privacy requirements. Below, we detail the most commonly used glass types for frameless installations.
‎
‎
TYPES OF GLASS WE USE

• 12mm A grade Toughened Glass pool fencing

• 12mm A grade Toughened and Heat Soaked Glass balustrading under 5 metres FGL

• 13.52mm Laminated SGP Toughened Glass over 5 metres FGL (with toprail)

• 15.04mm Laminated SGP Toughened Glass over 5 metres FGL (without toprail)

All glass is available in Clear, Ultra Low Iron and Acid Etch

‎ ‎
‎
POPULAR COLOUR OPTIONS:

- Clear glass is the most common choice for frameless glass installations due to its simple elegance and versatility. It provides a clear view of the surrounding area, allowing for a seamless, open look. Clear glass is ideal for pool fencing and balustrades, effortlessly fitting into a variety of architectural styles.

- Ultra Low-iron glass, also known as "extra clear" glass, minimizes the greenish tint often found in standard glass. Its high clarity makes it ideal for frameless installations where a pristine, ultra-clear view is desired.

- Acid-etched glass undergoes a treatment that gives it a soft, frosted look, making it perfect for areas requiring privacy without blocking light entirely. This glass type offers a smoother texture than sandblasted glass and is more resistant to fingerprints and smudges. Best choice for privacy with a sophisticated, smooth frosted finish that’s easy to maintain and resists fingerprints.

Choosing the right type of glass for frameless balustrades and pool fencing involves considering the level of safety, durability, transparency, privacy, and style you want to achieve. Clear, tinted, low-iron, acid-etched, and colorback glass each offer unique features suited to different needs. With these options, you can create a safe, beautiful outdoor space that complements your property’s design .
