TGD's Revolutionary Composite Spigot - No Earthing Required

TGD's Revolutionary Composite Spigot - No Earthing Required

What is a Composite?

A composite material is one created from two or more very different material which combines to make a better product than the parts themselves. 

Common examples of composite materials are:

  • Fibreglass (glass fibre and epoxy resin)
  • Plywood (wood veneers and glue) 
  • Concrete (cement and stones)

What are Composite Spigots?

Composite spigots are an innovation which removes the necessity of the electrical earthing/bonding work you would need to have done with conventional metal spigots when they are close to the water’s edge of your pool. They have been created by the award-winning Evolve Group over a 5-year development period and are now available for ground-level pool fencing projects, saving you the cost of electrical earthing work – and the delays caused by adding or building the required earth wiring system to your existing or new pool build. 

What are the Benefits of Composite Spigots?

Non-conductive composite spigots not only eliminate the financial pain of having to employ a qualified Electrician to add a bonding circuit to your project being of rigid plastic design, but they also cannot corrode, need the smallest amount of maintenance, and are just as robust – and pass the same NATA test standards as metal spigots. Sounds like a wonderful deal if you ask me!

Australian designed and manufactured composite spigots have a non-metallic nature, guaranteeing that the breakage risk of metal-to-glass contact is totally removed. Composite spigots and their dress covers can also be painted any colour you wish for, perfect for any situation when the design is integral to the installation.

Where can Composite Spigots be used?

At present, NATA tested and approved composite spigots can be utilized on ground floor pool fence installations with 12mm glass panels up to 2000mm wide (base mount and balustrade-compliant versions will be available soon).
