Precision Corner Support with GW GeWalt

The GW GeWalt GW-F200-2V is a heavy-duty, 2-way 90° (V-shaped) glass spider fitting engineered for complex structural glass assemblies. Designed specifically to support and connect two glass panels at architectural corners or angled intersections, this fitting is an essential component for seamless frameless glass curtain walls and enclosures.

 

Manufactured from premium architectural stainless steel, the GW-F200-2V delivers maximum load-bearing efficiency and wind-load resistance where structural integrity is most critical—the corners. Its elegant V-shaped profile minimizes visual obstruction, ensuring maximum light transmission and a clean, modern aesthetic for commercial facades, storefronts, and high-end residential canopies.

 

Key Features:

 

Configuration: 2-Way / 90° V-Type design optimized for corner installations and angled glass panel joints.

 

Material: High-grade architectural stainless steel (typically available in SUS304 for standard applications and SUS316 for enhanced anti-corrosion in marine or demanding environments).

 

Durability: Engineered for superior tensile strength, rigid corner support, and long-term structural stability.

 

Finish: Clean, polished, or satin finish to seamlessly blend with contemporary architectural designs.

 

Application: Ideal for point-supported frameless glass curtain wall corners, storefront edges, skylights, and angled structural glass enclosures.

 

Package Includes:

 

1 x GW-F200-2V 2-Way 90° Glass Spider Fitting (Note: Glass routels/articulated bolts and central mounting structure bolts are typically sold separately based on specific glass thickness requirements).

 

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Where is a 2-Way 90° (V-Shape) spider fitting typically used?

A: The 90° V-shaped fitting is primarily used at the structural corners of a glass facade or enclosure. It anchors two panels that meet at a perpendicular angle, or it is used on corner support posts to brace edge panels effectively.

 

Q: What material grades are available for the GW-F200-2V?

A: This spider fitting is cast from high-quality stainless steel. Depending on your project requirements, it can be supplied in SUS304 for general interior and exterior use, or SUS316 for environments requiring superior corrosion resistance, such as coastal areas or highly industrialized zones.

 

Q: Do I need to drill holes in the glass panels to use this fitting?

A: Yes. Point-supported systems require precision holes to be drilled (and often countersunk, depending on your choice of routel) into the tempered glass panels prior to installation.

 

Q: Are the glass connecting bolts (routels) included with the spider body?

A: The GW-F200-2V refers to the 2-way 90° spider arm body itself. Articulated glass bolts (routels) are purchased separately because the required bolt length and type depend entirely on the thickness and specification of your glass panels (e.g., 12mm tempered vs. insulated double-glazed units).

 

Q: How does this fitting attach to the building structure?

A: The central hole on the GW-F200-2V allows the fitting to be bolted securely to a primary structural backing, such as a corner steel post, structural fin, or a tension cable truss system, transferring the weight and wind loads safely to the building's framework.
