“Join Us”- Find Out About Cast Iron Gutter Joints, Union Clips, Sockets, and Spigots

Joints, union clips, sockets, and spigots are essential components in assembling cast iron guttering systems, offering both functionality and versatility in installation. Often, questions arise regarding their purpose and necessity, particularly concerning the number required for a given guttering project.

At the heart of every cast iron gutter lies a jointing piece, integral to its connection with adjacent gutter sections. This jointing piece can be an external socket or an internal spigot as the connection point between gutters.

Union clips play a pivotal role in expanding the possibilities of gutter installation. Acting as a double socket or double spigot, their primary function is facilitating joints where none naturally occurs. This proves especially useful when working with off-cuts of guttering material, enabling their reuse and potentially reducing the overall number of gutters required for a project. By incorporating union clips strategically, installers can optimize material usage while ensuring seamless gutter connections throughout the system.
