Glass adaptor - distancer, D50, SS, satin

The Strofix glass adaptor distancer D50 satin is a stainless-steel spacer ring designed for use inside Strofix D50 glass adaptor assemblies, adding 8 mm of standoff between the glass panel and the mounting surface. Manufactured from AISI 304 with a satin finish, with a Ø 50 mm outer diameter, Ø 10.5 mm unthreaded through-hole for an M10 screw, a 2.5 mm deep recessed area at Ø 16.5 mm, and a fixed thickness of 8 mm.

The distancer is a passive spacer component — the Ø 10.5 mm hole is unthreaded, allowing the M10 fixing screw to pass through freely. The Ø 16.5 mm recessed area (2.5 mm deep) provides a seating surface for the screw head or washer within the spacer body. 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 in 8 mm increments. The distancer matches the Ø 50 mm cover diameter and satin finish of the Strofix D50 glass adaptor range, maintaining a uniform appearance when visible between the adaptor cover and the mounting surface.

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:

• Adjusting spacer height in D50 glass adaptor assemblies for balustrades and partitions
• Compensating for uneven wall surfaces or finish layers behind the glass
• Building custom standoff distances in 8 mm increments on D50 point fixings
• Replacing worn or damaged spacers in existing Strofix D50 installations
• Adjusting the gap between glass and wall on façade or canopy fixings

FAQ:

What is this distancer used for?

The distancer is an 8 mm thick spacer ring that sits inside a Strofix D50 glass adaptor assembly, between the mounting surface and the glass panel. It sets or adjusts the standoff distance. It is not a complete glass adaptor — it is a single spacer component sold separately.

What is the recessed area for?

The distancer has a 2.5 mm deep recess at Ø 16.5 mm on one face, which provides a seating surface for the screw head or washer inside the spacer body. This keeps the fastener seated flush within the distancer rather than protruding.

What screw does it fit?

The through-hole is Ø 10.5 mm and unthreaded, sized for an M10 screw to pass through freely. The screw threads into the wall anchor or the adaptor body, not into the distancer itself.

Can I stack multiple distancers?

Yes. Multiple 8 mm distancers can be placed on the same M10 screw shaft within the adaptor assembly to build a custom spacer height in 8 mm steps.

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 — those require their own matching distancers.

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.
