Two-Piece Stainless Steel Routel Fitting for Point-Supported Glass Curtain Wall

Two-Piece Routel Fitting

The two-piece routel (bolt) fitting is the point-fixing connector that secures glass panels to spider fittings in point-supported glass curtain wall systems. Its separable core and sleeve design makes on-site assembly and adjustment easier, because the two components can be positioned independently before being drawn together.

This fitting is compatible with 200-300 series spider fittings, giving glazing contractors a flexible stock item across a range of facade grids. The split design also simplifies replacement work on existing curtain walls, as the bolt can be serviced without dismantling the whole spider arm.

Key Features

Specifications

• Material options: SS304 / SS316 stainless steel
• Assembly: Separable threaded core and sleeve
• Spider compatibility: Fits 200-300 series spider fittings
• Application: Point fixing between glass panel and spider arm

Installation & Usage

The routel is passed through the pre-drilled glass hole, with the sleeve and gaskets seated on both faces of the panel, then threaded into the spider arm. The split core and sleeve also lets installers offer the glass to the spider arm first and tighten the threaded core later, which is useful where access to the rear of the panel is restricted. Components should be loosely engaged first so panel alignment can be corrected, and only finally tightened once the whole glass grid is true. Gaskets should be checked for correct seating to avoid direct metal contact with the glass.

Quality Assurance

Every two-piece routel is 100% inspected before shipment for thread fit, concentricity and surface finish. Material test certificates are available on request.
