CUSTOM MOULDED
FOR SMOOTH EDGES
When applying a non-conductive coating to a metal spigot, you need to be sure that current won’t leak out at the weakest points. This would, in effect, negate any perceived electrical protection. In order to combat this potential harm, and also improve the spigot’s visual impact with a smooth luster, TOUGHCOAT is cast from a custom mould. This ensures an even coating thickness and all-over non-conductivity.
PATENT PENDING PROTECTIVE INSERT
To further enhance non-conductivity, Toughcoat spigots incorporate patent-pending insert technology that effectively seals off any exposed internal metal. These innovative inserts do more than just insulate; they also prevent twisting of the pressure plates, ensuring structural stability. This unique feature contributes to the distinctive appearance of our high-quality, durable non-conductive spigots, designed for longevity and reliability in any setting.
BATCH TESTED
AS/NZS 3000:2018
While advanced, automatic line powder coating is used, TOUGHCOAT has many different quality control measures in place. Individual casting and pretreatment visual inspection, coating thickness testing and most importantly electrical resistance testing – to name a few. These non-conductive spigots, while massively exceeding the electrical standards, set a new standard with batch testing carried out at a large and respected international laboratory.
FAQ’s
Toughcoat spigots come with a 10-year limited warranty. Other Toughcoat products offer warranties up to 10 years. For more detailed information, please visit toughcoat.com.au/warranty.
We are currently expanding our range of matching products. While traditional powder coatings may differ in appearance, we are working towards developing hardware that complements the aesthetics, protection, and durability of Toughcoat spigots. We encourage you to check back regularly for new product releases or sign up for our mailing list to stay informed.
According to AS/NZ regulations, pool fencing spigots within 1250mm of the pool edge traditionally require earthing. However, Toughcoat has developed a patented coating and a patent-pending insert that eliminates the need for earthing. This innovation saves time and reduces installation costs while meeting all safety standards.
Toughcoat products undergo rigorous testing to meet both Australian and international standards. We regularly obtain certification from accredited laboratories and conduct in-house batch testing. Additionally, we perform extensive weather testing to ensure the highest level of durability. For compliance forms or laboratory certificates, please contact us at [email protected]’s performance has been validated by customers across Australia, who have tested it in diverse conditions for many years.
After installation, it is essential to have your Toughcoat products tested for conductivity. This should be done by your electrician, typically using a megger, to verify that no damage occurred during installation.To maintain the integrity of the coating, avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaning methods. In the event of incidental damage (such as from storms or accidents), please notify your installer for an assessment. We also recommend visually inspecting the non-conductive coating regularly, ensuring screw covers remain intact. For replacements, visit our online store or contact us at [email protected].
Toughcoat spigots and hardware feature a specialised single-layer powder coating designed not only for electrical insulation but also for enhanced strength, longevity, and aesthetics.
Toughcoat spigots are available in the following colours: Black, Silver, White, Ultra Clear, and Industrial Satin. The range of Toughcoat hardware is more limited in colour, so we recommend checking with your preferred distributor for availability.
Toughcoat spigots are widely recognised and accepted by pool fence certifiers due to their compliance with fencing and electrical safety standards. We provide all necessary documentation to ensure the products meet required certifications. If your certifier has any questions, we are happy to engage in discussions to address any concerns. Additionally, on-site testing can be conducted to confirm electrical isolation.
Toughcoat spigots come with a patented insert that offers an additional layer of protection. This insert addresses potential current leaks around the glass opening, enhancing safety. Its unique design, with a small return, prevents direct contact with inner surfaces, making it a safety feature. It also serves as a visual indicator of the Toughcoat spigot, distinguishing it as a protected product.
Australia’s diverse and challenging climate demands products that can withstand extreme conditions. From scorching heat to freezing temperatures, and from tropical humidity to salty sea breezes, Toughcoat is designed to endure it all. Our coatings have undergone extensive weather testing, delivering exceptional results in both coastal and inland environments. Additionally, our patented clear coatings help prevent rust and tea staining, ensuring long-lasting protection for your stainless steel components.
