Black K Type Spider Fitting

Black K Type Spider Fitting

The Black K Type Spider Fitting is a three-arm point-fixed glass connector engineered for corner and edge applications in modern glass facade systems. As a variant of the standard spider fitting family, the "K" configuration features two arms aligned at 180° (forming a straight line) and a third arm positioned at 90° — creating a silhouette that resembles the letter "K". This geometry makes it the ideal fitting for L-shaped glass corners, skylight ridges, and facade perimeter details where a four-way cross spider would be unnecessary or visually intrusive.

The "Black" designation refers to a premium dark surface finish — most commonly achieved through PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition) coating, black anodizing, or fluoropolymer powder coating — applied over a 304 or 316 stainless steel substrate. The black finish delivers a sleek, contemporary aesthetic while maintaining the corrosion resistance and structural integrity of stainless steel, making it a favored choice for high-end architectural projects where hardware must either recede visually or serve as a deliberate design accent.

Key Features

• K-Profile Geometry — 180° + 90° three-arm layout purpose-built for glass corners, edges, and skylight ridges

• Premium Black Finish — PVD black coating, black anodize, or fluorocarbon powder coat for a uniform, durable dark surface

• Articulated Joints — Each arm independently swivels ±15° to accommodate glass deflection, thermal movement, and installation tolerances

• Stainless Steel Core — 304 or 316 stainless steel substrate beneath the black coating for structural strength and corrosion resistance

• High Load Capacity — Engineered to withstand wind pressure, dead load, and seismic forces per project specifications

• Frameless Aesthetic — Minimal visible hardware; black finish further reduces visual weight, allowing glass to dominate the facade

• Easy Maintenance — Smooth, non-porous coating resists fingerprints, water staining, and environmental soiling

• Full Compatibility — Interchangeable with standard routels, glass holders, and supporting hardware from the same system family
