Glass adaptor - distancer, D50, SS, satin

The Strofix glass adaptor distancer D50 satin (unthreaded, 5–50 mm) is a stainless-steel spacer ring with a plain Ø 10.5 mm through-hole for an M10 screw, designed for use inside Strofix D50 glass adaptor assemblies. It sets the standoff distance between the glass panel and the mounting surface. Manufactured from AISI 304 with a satin finish, Ø 50 mm outer diameter, available in five spacer thicknesses: 5, 20, 30, 40, or 50 mm.

The Ø 10.5 mm hole is unthreaded, allowing the M10 fixing screw to pass through freely — the screw threads into the wall anchor or adaptor body, not into the distancer. The distancer is designed for flat mounting surfaces and is sold individually. Multiple distancers can be combined within the same adaptor assembly to build a custom spacer height, or a single distancer at the required thickness can be used for a clean one-piece standoff. The distancer matches the Ø 50 mm cover diameter and satin finish of the Strofix D50 glass adaptor range, maintaining a uniform appearance across the assembly.

The satin finish reduces visible fingerprints and micro-scratches, giving the spacer a consistent matte appearance that blends with other satin-finished D50 components.

Use cases:

• Setting or adjusting the wall-to-glass standoff distance in D50 glass adaptor assemblies for balustrades
• Glass partition fixings with controlled spacing in offices and retail spaces
• Façade glazing point fixings requiring specific panel offset from the structure
• Glass canopy and awning point fixing assemblies using D50 adaptors
• Mezzanine edge protection and staircase glazing fixings
• Replacing spacers in existing Strofix D50 installations

FAQ:

Which spacer thickness should I choose?

Select the thickness that matches the required standoff between the wall and the glass panel: 5 mm for minimal offset or fine-tuning, 20 or 30 mm for standard wall constructions, 40 mm for deeper finish layers, and 50 mm for maximum clearance. The spacer thickness cannot be changed after installation — order the correct variant.

Is this distancer threaded?

No. The Ø 10.5 mm hole is a plain unthreaded through-hole. The M10 screw passes through the distancer freely and threads into the wall anchor or adaptor body beyond it. For threaded D50 distancers, check the Strofix D50 distancer range for alternative products.

What screw does it fit?

The through-hole is Ø 10.5 mm, sized for an M10 screw to pass through freely.

Can I stack multiple distancers?

Yes. Multiple distancers can be placed on the same M10 screw shaft to build a custom height. Different thicknesses can also be combined — for example, a 20 mm and a 5 mm distancer together produce a 25 mm standoff.

Which Strofix glass adaptors is it compatible with?

This distancer is sized for the Strofix D50 glass adaptor range (Ø 50 mm cover diameter, M10 screw, flat mounting surface). It is not compatible with D30 or D40 adaptors.

What material and finish is it supplied in?

AISI 304 stainless steel with a satin surface finish. These are fixed on this SKU — there is no grade or finish selection.

About glass adaptor distancers

A distancer is a cylindrical stainless-steel spacer tube that sits between the glass adaptor body and the mounting surface, setting the wall-to-glass offset distance. It is sold as a separate component so that the same adaptor head can be paired with different spacer lengths to suit varying wall build-ups, insulation thicknesses and cladding depths.

Strofix supplies distancers in three diameters — D30, D40 and D50 — in satin-finish stainless steel, with spacer heights ranging from 5 mm up to 60 mm. Each diameter matches the corresponding Strofix glass adaptor body, and multiple height options are available per diameter variant.

The correct distancer depends on the adaptor diameter already in use and the required wall-to-glass offset for the specific installation.
