Tuscan EN877 Soil is a socketless cast iron soil, waste and rainwater system made to BS EN 877. Plain-ended pipes and fittings are joined with stainless steel or ductile iron couplings, giving a slim, continuous line on a façade or in a service riser. Cast iron is non-combustible, quiet in use and very long-lived. That is why it remains the specification of choice for heritage buildings, tall stacks, and anywhere acoustic performance or fire safety matters.
An 88° short radius bend with a bolted access door, so the change of direction can be inspected and rodded without dismantling the run.
Available in 2 sizes, from 70mm to 100mm. Nominal weights run from 2.5 kg (70mm) to 3.8 kg (100mm).
Typical use: Changes of direction where blockages are most likely and access is needed for clearing.
| Size | Product code | Nominal weight |
|---|---|---|
| 70mm | HS3010 | 2.5 kg |
| 100mm | HS4010 | 3.8 kg |
Often used with: 88° Short Radius Bend, Double Spigot Pipe 3m, Rapid Connect Coupling, Ratchet Spanner.
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, and non-stock sizes within 7 to 10 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 (HS3010), 100mm (HS4010).
At points that will need rodding, typically the foot of a stack or a change of direction on a long horizontal run. Make sure the door faces where it can be reached after the pipe is boxed in or fixed to the wall.
Not at that point. The door gives the same access, which saves a fitting and a joint.

Most old buildings have cast iron rainwater systems that should be maintained and preserved however; these inherent benefits make cast iron an ideal choice for both traditional and modern installations. It is not uncommon to see modern alternative products marketed with terms like low maintenance or easy to install and cost effective. It has even been said that ‘plastic guttering systems provide a way of achieving a traditional look with modern convenience
As well as being easier to produce, the material enabled eaves gutters to be installed more simply, since lead could only be used in this location as a lining for timber gutters. Many modern materials focus on replicating the appearance of cast iron but those materials can vary rarely offer any of the benefits. Cast iron gutters and pipes offer great strength and durability, a proven history of long life, low noise operation and fire resistance.

It is not uncommon to see modern alternative products marketed with terms like low maintenance or easy to install and cost effective. It has even been said that ‘plastic guttering systems provide a way of achieving a traditional look with modern convenience’.
These terms tend to refer to possible cost savings rather than any real product benefits. It is also difficult to quantify the benefits of modern convenience over traditional build quality. It is worth remembering that all rainwater goods will require some element of maintaining to ensure they are unblocked by debris and remain functional. No rainwater system cleans itself.
Today most suppliers of cast iron rainwater systems offer products in both primer or pre-painted with a 10 year protective coating. When describing modern materials, the term ‘cost effective’ is used rather than simply saying cheap. There is no doubt that the initial cost of many modern materials is less than cast iron but you might be surprised to know that over its lifespan, cast iron will cost around a third of plastic.
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.
