The Tuscan Mechanical BS416 Soil range is a coupling-jointed cast iron soil and waste system, dimensionally compatible with BS 416 pipework. Plain-ended pipes and fittings are joined with bolted ductile iron couplings, so there are no caulked or sealed sockets. A stack goes together quickly, and individual fittings can be taken out later without disturbing the rest of the run. Conversion couplings join it to existing socketed LCC pipe, which makes it a practical choice for repairs and extensions to older stacks as well as new work.
A 45° single branch with a smaller inlet than the main run, for example 100mm × 50mm. It brings a smaller pipe into the stack or drain without a separate taper.
Available in 4 sizes, from 70mm × 50mm to 150mm × 100mm. Nominal weights run from 1.8 kg (70mm × 50mm) to 5.8 kg (150mm × 100mm).
Typical use: Waste and branch connections into a larger stack or drain.
| Size | Product code | Nominal weight |
|---|---|---|
| 70mm × 50mm | MS3026 | 1.8 kg |
| 100mm × 50mm | MS4026 | 2.4 kg |
| 100mm × 70mm | MS4027 | 3.1 kg |
| 150mm × 100mm | MS6026 | 5.8 kg |
Often used with: 45° Single Equal Branch, Double Spigot Pipe 3m, Ductile Iron Coupling with Continuity, Taper Pipe.
Comparing systems? Our guide to choosing a cast iron soil pipe system sets out how LCC, Traditional Express, mechanical BS 416 and EN 877 differ.
Prices are per item, excluding VAT and delivery. Stock items are usually dispatched within 5 to 7 working days. For a full stack or drainage schedule, or advice on the right fittings, call 0333 987 4452 or use the contact form.
It is available in 70mm × 50mm (MS3026), 100mm × 50mm (MS4026), 100mm × 70mm (MS4027), 150mm × 100mm (MS6026).
The first figure is the main run and the second is the branch. A 100mm × 50mm branch fits a 100mm stack and takes a 50mm branch pipe.
A 45° branch joins at a swept angle so the incoming flow travels with the main flow. It is the usual choice for junctions in horizontal drains and for steeply falling connections.

Cast iron hopper heads are priced on enquiry due to the range of connection and finish options available. Please call us on 0333 987 4452 or use the contact form and we will respond promptly with a quotation tailored to your project requirements.
Yes. Churches and ecclesiastical buildings are one of our most common project types. We regularly supply large sand cast gutters, rectangular and square downpipes, and bespoke hopper heads for church restorations. Many churches have non-standard profiles that require copy casting. We work directly with architects, church fabric advisors, and quinquennial inspection surveyors. Historic England and many Diocesan Advisory Committees specify cast iron as the appropriate material for listed ecclesiastical buildings.
Yes. Our telescopic screw-jack openers and pole-operated handles are compatible with Lumen Rooflight systems. They are also suitable for use with other timber-framed rooflights and skylights fitted with appropriate catches or stays. If you are unsure of compatibility, call us on 0333 987 4452 and we can advise.
The standards for our cast iron gutters and pipes have remained remarkably constant for many years. The physical properties of cast iron are sustained throughout its lifetime thus maintaining its effectiveness. Coupled with is durability and proper maintenance, we would expect our traditional cast iron rainwater products to last for over 50 years under normal conditions.
The H532 measures 560mm wide x 290mm deep x 305mm high, making it well suited to a broad, low-profile design suited to substantial roofs and box gutters on period commercial and civic buildings.
Available in two sizes: 225mm x 82mm (single airbrick course height) and 225mm x 150mm (double course height). Both sizes fit standard brick coursing positions and install flush into the wall face.
Our cast iron hopper heads are available with 65mm, 75mm and 100mm round outlets, 75mm, 100mm and 125mm square outlets, and 100x75mm, 125x100mm and 150x125mm rectangular outlets, to match the downpipe already on site or specified for the project.
Yes. All our mild steel brackets are supplied in either silver or black zinc plate. This coating protects the metal however, both will need painting prior to installation.
We have chosen to use zinc plating for two reasons; firstly that it is a more environmentally friendly than galvanising and secondly that it does not block up the threaded part of the rise and fall cups in the way that galvanising does.
Yes. Cast iron airbricks are frequently specified for listed buildings and conservation area properties precisely because they replicate the material and pattern of the original Victorian and Edwardian ventilation grilles. Local conservation officers and building control typically accept like-for-like cast iron replacements without objection. We can provide product specifications and material datasheets to support applications.
Our cast iron hopper heads are available in a choice of finishes including primer, painted, and specialist heritage finishes. Please call us on 0333 987 4452 or submit an enquiry to discuss the right finish for your project.
