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.
An 87.5° single branch with the inlet the same size as the main run.
Available in 4 sizes, from 50mm × 50mm to 150mm × 150mm. Nominal weights run from 1.1 kg (50mm × 50mm) to 11.7 kg (150mm × 150mm).
Typical use: Junctions where the branch is the same diameter as the stack or drain.

| 50mm × 50mm | MS2020 | 1.1 kg |
| 70mm × 70mm | MS3021 | 1.8 kg |
| 100mm × 100mm | MS4030 | 4.1 kg |

It is available in 50mm × 50mm (MS2020), 70mm × 70mm (MS3021), 100mm × 100mm (MS4030), 150mm × 150mm (MS6031).
The 87.5° branch is the standard choice for bringing a horizontal branch pipe into a vertical stack. The branch pipe is laid to a slight fall, so the junction sits just short of a right angle.
It can be, but a radius curve branch is generally preferred for WCs because its curved inlet turns the flow down the stack.

Hopper heads are supplied in red oxide primer ready for on-site painting, or pre-finished in black. A full range of Heritage Colours in traditional linseed oil paint is also available on request — please contact us for the swatch chart.
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 in a standard primed and black-painted finish, ready for on-site topcoats. Heritage colour finishes and factory-applied linseed oil paint are available on request. Linseed oil paint is a vapour-permeable, period-appropriate finish particularly well suited to listed buildings and conservation area properties.
Yes. Cast iron hopper heads are the historically correct choice for listed and period buildings, and a like-for-like cast iron replacement is generally accepted without objection by conservation officers. We manufacture to BS 460 for genuine heritage character and durability.
The H525 measures 270mm wide x 208mm deep x 285mm high, making it well suited to smaller period properties, extensions and outbuildings.

Our cast iron airbricks are available in a choice of finishes including primer and painted options. If you require a specific finish for a conservation project or to match existing ironwork, please call us on 0333 987 4452 to discuss.
We do offer a range of Ogee patterned gutters in both straight and radius profiles. The straight profiles are much more common and as such cost less.
The H528 measures 760mm wide x 370mm deep x 565mm high, making it well suited to the largest properties in the range — substantial country houses, civic buildings and ecclesiastical projects.
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.
