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 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 1.5 kg (70mm × 50mm) to 6.5 kg (150mm × 100mm).
Typical use: Waste and branch connections into a larger stack or drain.
| Size | Product code | Nominal weight |
|---|---|---|
| 70mm × 50mm | MS3020 | 1.5 kg |
| 100mm × 50mm | MS4020 | 2.2 kg |
| 100mm × 70mm | MS4021 | 2.5 kg |
| 150mm × 100mm | MS6030 | 6.5 kg |
Often used with: 87.5° Single Equal Branch, Double Spigot Pipe 3m, Ductile Iron Coupling with Continuity, Taper Pipe.

It is available in 70mm × 50mm (MS3020), 100mm × 50mm (MS4020), 100mm × 70mm (MS4021), 150mm × 100mm (MS6030).
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.
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.

This opener is particularly well suited to period and heritage properties — Georgian and Victorian terraces, conservation area houses, traditional orangeries, and listed buildings where a brass finish is required to complement existing ironmongery. It is compatible with Lumen Rooflights and most timber-framed skylights.
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 Pultney Tapered Hopper Head is available in three pipe connection sizes: 65mm (2.5"), 75mm (3"), and 100mm (4"). Each size connects directly to matching cast iron downpipes via spigot and socket. Compatible downpipe codes are: 65mm — RH025, XRH025; 75mm — RH03, XRH03; 100mm — RH04, XRH04.
Premier Extra is our ready-to-fix factory finish — an attractive black semi-gloss coating that needs no painting on site, available across all seven standard gutter profiles and round rainwater pipes. It's also available to special order in a wider range of RAL and BS colours.
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.
Please call 0333 987 4452 or use the contact form with the size, quantity and connection details, and we'll provide a quotation.
We manufacture a wide variety of brackets for many different cast iron gutter and pipe profiles. More common types are the rise and fall, top fix and side fix rafter and the holderbat or pipe clip.
We can also offer traditional drive brackets, repair brackets and fascia brackets in both steel and cast iron.
It is always advisable to replace like with like because quite often the brackets form and important part of the buildings architecture. Occasionally buildings have special decorative brackets and our UK manufacturing allows us to produce small quantities of bespoke brackets when required.
Prices vary depending on size and finish. To get a quotation, please call 0333 987 4452 or use the contact form on the Tuscan Foundry website. The team can advise on the right specification for your project and provide a written quote.
For rooflights directly above a worktop or sink, a telescopic screw-jack hand winder is the most practical choice. Available in polished brass, satin chrome, and polished chrome, these openers allow controlled ventilation from a fixed handle position without requiring a pole. The 150mm or 250mm size is typically appropriate for standard-height kitchen rooflights.
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.
