Before You Start
· Review local and regional building codes regarding glass fencing construction and requirements.
· Confirm that you have the correct fixings and hardware for your project to match your substrate and build to code. We recommend TapCon 3/8" x 4" Concrete Anchors or 3/8" x 4" Lag Screws for Wood Decking.

Spigot Installation Guide
Canis Spigot Installation Guide
The Canis is an oval baseplate spigot designed with a slimline profile to achieve the ultimate frameless look. It is designed for surface mounted applications and engineered to US glass railing standards. Made from the highest grade 2205 Duplex Stainless Steel, it provides the best protection for outdoor applications.
SAFETY REQUIREMENTS
Before installing, check with your local City Building Codes for railing.

SPIGOT SPACING
Take the width of each glass panel and divide it by 4 and that is the distance the spigots will come in from each end of the panel.

Spigot Installation Guide
Important: We recommend marking the line of your fence using a temporary chalk line.
01
Mark the line of your fence using a chalk line.
This will be the center line of your spigots. Refer to the engineering document to ensure that the
marked line is the correct distance from the edge of your substrate.
Important: Ensure the color of the color code sticker on the plastic shim matches the color code for your glass thickness.
03
Peel the sticker backing & attach the metal plate to matching shape in the plastic shim.
Once completed, peel the remaining stickers and attach to spigot with the metal plate on the front side of the
grub screws. See legend included with spigots.
Important: Measure & mark the positions of spigots and glass panels on the same line to ensure perfect positioning and spacing between glass panels.
02
Rough out Spigot and Glass Panel positions on substrate. Refer to the spigot spacing guide for positioning on Page 02.

04
Fix your spigots on the pre-marked position with the appropriate fixings for your substrate.
Check the level of Spigots and once achieved, fully tighten.

05
Lower cover plates over spigots to complete spigot assembly.
Caution: The most fragile parts of tempered glass panels are the corners. Therefore, it is critical to avoid contact with the corners.
06
For placement of glass, ensure gaskets are sitting correctly in spigot.
Using two people, carefully lower glass into spigots evenly. Be sure to lower glass into pre-marked position
and align glass edges with glass panel gap marks on decking surface.
6
Handy Tip: If more leveling is required, further adjustment may be needed using the allen bolts in the baseplate of the spigot.
07
Make sure the glass is positioned & spaced correctly before tightening grub screw on side of spigot.
Starting at one end, level each glass panel by tightening the two grub screws on the back side of each spigot.

Spigot Installation Guide
Please note: If your railing system includes a handrail please refer to the installation guide supplied specifically for handrails.
08
Once installed, eye the entire line of your fence to ensure all panels are aligned.
If glass panels are not aligned, adjust grub screws on baseplate (beneath cover plate) to straighten. This isn't
as critical if you are using a top cap/handrail as handrail will align panels once installed.

Care & Maintenance
EnduroShield makes cleaning easier and less frequent; however it is recommended that you continue to clean the surfaces regularly.
Maintaining the Treated Surface
For best results simply drying the glass with a squeegee or towel after each use will help keep the glass clean and reduce mineral spots forming. The glass needs to be cleaned every few weeks using a damp microfiber cloth and a mild detergent to break down soaps, oils, and conditioners on the glass. General glass cleaners are also suitable, however most of these are finishing agents rather than cleaners, and are an added expense that is not required.
Hard Water Maintenance
In hard water areas, or areas where water drops dry and leave a noticeable dust mark, a build of minerals may occur on the protective treatment. While these may not be removed as easily with the mild detergent, mild acids will often remove the marks quickly. As needed white vinegar should be used to wipe down the glass. Keep in mind the vinegar may be diluted with water, however dilution reduces the effectiveness.
Spray vinegar onto the glass and allow to soak for several minutes. This should dissolve any mineral deposits that have built up on the glass surface. A damp microfiber cloth should then be used to wipe over the surface. For extreme hard water areas we recommended using undiluted vinegar every week or so as a cleaning option to reduce this build up on the surface, rather than allowing the build up to continue over a long period of time.
Caution: Prohibited Products *Note these may damage the treatment and void any warranty
· Avoid the use of any abrasives or polishes including water spot removers, toothpaste, polishes, rough, or gritty substances
· Avoid the use of acids or alkalis that you would not want in contact with your skin for an extended period of time
· Avoid products such as Comet, Ajax, Jiff or Cerium Oxide which polish back the actual substrate
· Avoid the use of any harsh or chemical cleaners, with correct maintenance these are never required
