One-Piece Stainless Steel Routel Fitting for 12-15mm Tempered Glass
The one-piece routel fitting connects tempered glass panels to spider fittings in point-supported curtain wall systems. It passes through the pre-drilled glass hole and threads into the spider arm, transferring panel loads into the support structure through a single clean, low-profile body.
Because the body is machined as one piece, the joint has fewer visible fasteners and a tidy face that suits fully glazed feature facades. Bolt-on installation with concealed fasteners keeps the glass face uncluttered, while still allowing the panel to be bedded and aligned on site. Routels in this style are standard companions to our point-supported spider range, giving facade contractors a matched glass-to-steel detail for glass walls, canopies and skylights.

Installation & Usage
The routel is fitted through the pre-drilled tempered glass hole and threaded into the spider arm hub, with the concealed fasteners drawn up to clamp the panel at the hole. The panel is seated first, the whole grid checked for alignment, and the fastener then brought to the project-specified tightening. Protective gaskets at the glass hole should be checked for even seating, and the stainless faces cleaned after installation to remove handling marks.
Quality Assurance
Every routel is 100% inspected before shipment for thread condition, body geometry and surface finish. Material test certificates are available on request to support project specifications.
Applications
- Point-supported glass curtain walls
- Glass canopies and skylights
