The Traditional Express cast iron soil product is an industry leading push fit soil system designed for a lifetime performance. The contemporary cast iron system provides the aesthetic appearance of traditional cast iron soil systems and is suitable for Listed properties and conservation projects.
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.
Casting of iron is an imperfect processs. It is possible with some cast iron radiators that you will get minor imperfections in the surface finish. When radiators are painted this will reduce and over the years every additional coat of paint applied will provide a smoother more equal finish.
The Cast Iron Louvre Airbrick suits Victorian, Edwardian, and inter-war residential and commercial properties where the louvre-pattern vent was the standard specification. It is the correct like-for-like replacement on listed buildings and conservation area properties, and suits new heritage-style construction requiring an authentic period ventilation grille.
The H460 is well suited to Georgian, Regency, and Victorian buildings where a plain, undecorated rectangular hopper is the appropriate choice — particularly listed properties, conservation area buildings, and institutional or commercial buildings in historic town centres. Its clean, restrained form makes it equally appropriate on modern heritage-style construction where period accuracy is required without ornamental detail.
Yes. Cast iron airbricks are frequently specified for listed buildings and conservation area properties precisely because they replicate the material and pattern of the original Victorian and Edwardian ventilation grilles. Local conservation officers and building control typically accept like-for-like cast iron replacements without objection. We can provide product specifications and material datasheets to support applications.
The standards for our cast iron gutters and pipes have remained remarkably constant for many years. The physical properties of cast iron are sustained throughout its lifetime thus maintaining its effectiveness. Coupled with is durability and proper maintenance, we would expect our traditional cast iron rainwater products to last for over 50 years under normal conditions.
The opener is designed for use with Lumen Rooflights and compatible timber-framed skylights. The telescopic shaft and adjustable mounting bracket allow it to be fitted to a range of rooflight frames. If you have a specific rooflight model, call us on 0333 987 4452 to confirm compatibility.

Yes. Cast iron is the material required by most conservation officers and listed building consents for the replacement or replication of traditional rainwater goods. Our hopper heads are produced in solid cast iron and we can assist with specification notes or material statements for planning purposes if required.
Yes. Cast iron airbricks are the appropriate material for listed buildings and conservation area properties where the original ventilation grilles were cast iron. They maintain the character and material authenticity required by most conservation officers and listed building consent conditions. We recommend confirming the specific pattern with your conservation officer before ordering.
