Spigot cover plates

Pool spigot cover plates serve two critical functions in pool fence installations.

First, they conceal fixings and internal components, creating a clean, professional appearance. Second, they protect the spigot internals from pool chemicals, debris, and weather exposure.

Without proper cover plates, spigots are vulnerable to corrosion and damage. The covers extend the life of your entire spigot system while delivering the polished look clients expect.

Standard stainless steel struggles with the combination of chlorine, salt, and UV exposure around pools.

Duplex stainless steel combines the best properties of austenitic and ferritic steels. This gives it superior corrosion resistance and twice the strength of standard grades.

For pool applications, this means no rust staining on surrounding surfaces, no structural degradation, and no premature replacement. It's the material choice that makes sense for Australian pool conditions.

Measure the diameter of your spigot base before ordering. This is the critical dimension.

Our cover plates are designed to fit standard spigot sizes used throughout Australia. Match your measurement to our product specifications.

If you're between sizes, go with the larger option and use appropriate fixings to secure it properly. A slightly oversized cover plate can be accommodated, but undersized won't work.

It depends on your design intent and practical requirements.

Flat cover plates suit modern, minimalist pool fencing where hardware should blend in. They're perfect when you want glass to be the hero.

Raised covers work better when you need extra height clearance or want hardware to have more presence. They're common in commercial pool installations or where the spigot needs to accommodate thicker glass.

Installation is quick. Most experienced tradies complete each cover plate in 2-3 minutes.

You need basic tools and the provided fixings. The cover plate simply attaches to the spigot base with screws.

For a typical residential pool fence with 10-15 spigots, you're looking at 30-45 minutes total for cover plate installation. It's the easy part of the job.

Minimal maintenance is needed. That's one of the benefits of duplex stainless steel.

Occasional cleaning with mild soap and water keeps them looking new. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could scratch the finish.

In coastal areas, rinse them periodically to remove salt buildup. That's it. No special treatments, no protective coatings, no ongoing hassle for you or your clients.
