The Traditional Express TX is a push-fit cast iron soil pipe system designed for above-ground soil and waste installations on period, listed, and conservation buildings. Unlike the traditional LCC socket-and-spigot system, TX pipes have no integral socket — they are double spigot sections that push into separate rubber-sealed push-fit sockets. This eliminates the need for lead caulking or specialist jointing skills, significantly reducing installation time and labour costs whilst retaining all the visual and acoustic qualities of cast iron. The system conforms to BS 416 Part 2 (soil, waste and ventilating pipes) and BS EN 681-1 (rubber gaskets). Pre-painted black gloss finish. 100mm diameter throughout.
The TX Double Spigot Pipe 3m is the full-length pipe section for the Traditional Express push-fit cast iron soil system. Both ends are plain spigots with no integral socket, designed to push into TX push-fit sockets at each joint where the rubber gasket provides the watertight seal. The 3m length minimises the number of joints in a run, reducing installation time and the number of sockets required.
Available in 100mm (4″) diameter only. Pre-painted black gloss finish. BS 416 Part 2. Part code: TX4001-3m. For specification support, call 0333 987 4452.
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.
The handle is compatible with Lumen Rooflights and most pole-operated rooflight and skylight systems. If you are unsure whether it suits your specific rooflight, call us on 0333 987 4452 and we can advise.

The H541 measures 274mm wide x 130mm deep x 330mm high, making it well suited to a slender profile suited to narrow Georgian townhouses and terraces where space is limited.
The School Board Airbrick (F020801AFC) is available in three standard sizes: 225mm × 75mm, 225mm × 150mm, and 225mm × 225mm. These correspond to one-, two-, and three-brick-course heights and allow ventilation requirements to be met across a range of subfloor and wall opening sizes.
The Paxton H82 is a large-format hopper with decorative collar mouldings, making it particularly well suited to late Victorian and Edwardian buildings where the rainwater system forms part of the architectural composition. Typical applications include commercial heritage buildings, civic buildings, large detached houses, institutional premises, and warehouse conversions where a more substantial fitting is appropriate.
Tuscan Foundry's cast iron hopper heads are available in Standard Black and Heritage Colour finishes.

Yes. Cast iron hopper heads are the historically appropriate choice for listed buildings, and are generally preferred by conservation officers and local planning authorities over modern plastic alternatives. Tuscan Foundry cast iron hopper heads are manufactured in solid grey iron and are suitable for use on listed buildings and within conservation areas. A linseed oil finish is also available, which is particularly appropriate for sensitive heritage projects.
