Two-Piece Stainless Steel Routel Fitting for 15-19mm Tempered Glass
The two-piece routel fitting connects tempered glass panels to spider fittings in point-supported curtain wall systems. It is the point-fixing detail that transfers panel loads from the glass hole into the spider arm, and its swivelling two-piece body is made to follow small angular differences between the drilled hole and the arm axis.
Because the body is split into two halves, installers can adjust the angle of the connection during fitting while keeping strong holding force at the glass corner. This absorbs small tolerances between the fabricated spider and the drilled panel, so panels can be bedded in without forcing. 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 and canopies.

Installation & Usage
The routel is fitted through the pre-drilled tempered glass hole and threaded into the spider arm, with the split halves allowing the joint to rotate as the panel is brought into alignment. The connection is seated first, the whole panel 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 before final tightening.
Quality Assurance
Every routel is 100% inspected before shipment for thread condition, swivel action and surface finish. Material test certificates are available on request to support project specifications.
Applications
- Point-supported glass curtain walls
- Glass canopies and skylights
- Glass corner and edge connections
- Atrium and shopfront glazing on spider support systems
Customization & OEM
Custom glass thickness ranges and finishes are available. Wholesale and OEM orders are welcome. Send us your panel schedule and spider layout to request a quote, and we can supply matching routels, spiders and bolt sets so every point connection on the facade comes from one range.
