Abstract

A fitting for a construction system for a glass panel having a mullion with at least one guide track disposed at least partially along at least one dimension of the mullion, a curved exterior face, and a guide channel extending along a length of the curved exterior face. The fitting may comprise an inner fitting, an outer fitting and a fastener couple the inner fitting to the outer fitting. The inner fitting may be configured to be slidably coupled to the curved exterior face of the mullion. The inner fitting may comprise an angular variation device, a panel support surface, and an arm extending between the angular variation device and the panel support surface. The fitting is selectively adjustable along the guide track while engaged to the guide track and a portion of the glass panel is received between the inner fitting and the outer fitting.
