The 450mm 6-Hole Spigot shines in a variety of temporary roofing scenarios. It’s commonly used in industrial settings for covering large warehouses during repairs, keeping operations running smoothly. In commercial projects, such as shopping centre renovations, it helps maintain business continuity by shielding interiors from rain and debris. For historic sites, its lightweight design minimises stress on delicate structures while providing essential protection. Even in domestic applications, such as home extensions or roof replacements, it offers a quick setup solution to keep your property dry. Versatile and adaptable, it’s a go-to for contractors needing fast, effective weatherproofing across short- to medium-term contracts.
Safety is paramount when working with temporary roofing, and the 450mm 6-Hole Spigot is built with that in mind. Always ensure trained operatives handle installation in accordance with a safe method of work, and that a competent engineer designs the overall structure to account for wind, snow, and site-specific loads. Use personal protective equipment (PPE), such as harnesses and helmets, during assembly, and regularly inspect connections for wear.
This spigot complies with British and European safety standards, including BS EN 12811-1 for temporary works equipment, ensuring high resistance to environmental stresses. Remember, proper use prevents accidents and extends the life of your setup.
It’s a connector that joins 450mm alloy beams in the temporary roofing system, creating secure joints for weatherproof structures.
Slide the spigot into the beam ends, align the holes, and secure with two 60mm spring pins on each side. Always follow the system’s installation manual for best results.
When properly installed, it handles standard temporary roofing loads, but exact capacity depends on the overall design. Consult an engineer for your project.
Inspect for damage before each use, clean off debris, and store in a dry place. Aluminium construction means minimal rust concerns.
No, 60mm spring pins are not included. They are widely available from scaffolding and temporary works suppliers or can often be purchased alongside the spigots and beams.
You require two spigots per beam joint, one for the top chord and one for the bottom chord, to connect the beams end-to-end. Each spigot is secured using two 60 mm spring pins on each side, meaning four spring pins per spigot and eight 60 mm spring pins in total per beam joint.
