The square cast iron downpipe is available in 2.5m lengths. Cast Effect square downpipe is often used in conjunction with ogee gutter systems, although circular pipe can equally be used with ogee.
2.5m lengths are usually sufficient for rainwater pipe drops on single storey buildings but for two and three storey buildings the pipes can be joined together with pipe sockets. This is to imitate the way in which original cast iron pipe drops were created.
The shoe is the fitting used at the bottom of the downpipe when it is not being connected to a drainage pipe or gully. Cast Iron effect shoes have decorative fixing ears which had interest and style as they have been designed to closely resemble the original cast iron fittings.
Offset bends are commonly used to form what is known as a swan neck. This is the term given for two offset bends used together with a small piece of pipe in between that allows the downpipe to drop from the fascia and return to the wall below the soffit.
Downpipe branches are used to bring together two downpipes. Usually this would be a rainwater pipe from a low section of roof, such as a porch, connecting into the main drop from the roof gutter.
The branch is angled at 112 degrees which is the same angle as an offset bend, ensuring that the two connecting pipes are perfectly aligned where they meet.
Connections are a simple push fit joint – this is to enable the branch connection to be taken apart for cleaning as required.
This Cast Iron Effect Hopper is a very decorative item that will add kerb appeal to any property.
Gutter hoppers are used to bring together a collection of flows into one downpipe. Usually this would be different rainwater pipes from various sections of a roof coming together, such as pipes from a main roof and a porch roof.
