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.

Available in 4 sizes, from 50mm to 150mm. Nominal weights run from 1.7 kg (50mm) to 7.9 kg (150mm).

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.
