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.
A ductile iron coupling with an EPDM sealing gasket, supplied with grub screws that bite into the pipe to give electrical continuity across the joint. It clamps over two plain pipe ends or a pipe and a fitting.
Available in 4 sizes, from 50mm to 150mm. Nominal weights run from 0.7 kg (50mm) to 2 kg (150mm).
Typical use: Joints where earth continuity is specified, or as the standard coupling throughout a run.
| Size | Product code | Nominal weight |
|---|---|---|
| 50mm | MS2012C | 0.7 kg |
| 70mm | MS3012C | 0.8 kg |
| 100mm | MS4012C | 1.1 kg |
| 150mm | MS6012C | 2 kg |
Often used with: Double Spigot Pipe 3m.
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.

It is available in 50mm (MS2012C), 70mm (MS3012C), 100mm (MS4012C), 150mm (MS6012C).
The grub screws give a continuous electrical path from pipe to pipe, so the whole stack can be earth bonded. Many specifications call for it on internal stacks in commercial and public buildings.
Tighten the bolts evenly, alternating side to side, until the coupling halves meet or reach the torque in the installation guidance. Over-tightening one side first can pull the joint out of line.

The H1 is available to accept round pipe connections in 65mm, 75mm, 100mm, and 150mm diameters. The 65mm and 75mm variants measure 305mm wide by 197mm deep and 210mm high. The 100mm variant measures 355mm wide by 230mm deep and 240mm high. A 150mm connection option is also available — please contact the team for dimensions.
The H540 measures 600mm wide x 340mm deep x 475mm high, making it well suited to substantial country houses, civic and ecclesiastical buildings.
Yes. Cast iron is the original material for external soil stacks on most period buildings, and like-for-like replacement in cast iron is usually what conservation officers expect. Check with your local planning authority whether listed building consent is needed for the works.
Yes. Cast iron rainwater goods are widely accepted by conservation officers and historic environment bodies as the appropriate material for listed buildings. Tuscan Foundry's hopper heads are manufactured in solid cast iron to BS 460 specification and are suitable for all listed building grades. A linseed oil paint finish is also available, which is particularly appropriate for conservation projects.
Bespoke and copy cast iron rainwater goods typically have a lead time of 12 to 14 weeks from order confirmation. This covers pattern-making, casting, finishing, and quality inspection. Stock items are typically despatched within 5 to 7 working days, and non-stock standard profiles within 7 to 10 working days. We always recommend confirming lead times at enquiry stage so your project programme is not affected.
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.
Satin chrome has a brushed, low-sheen finish suited to contemporary interiors, while polished chrome has a bright mirror finish. Both are available in the telescopic hand winder range at Tuscan Foundry. The choice typically depends on the existing ironmongery specification.

The Strayton H42A accepts round, square, and rectangular pipe connections. Round: 65mm, 75mm, and 100mm. Square: 75×75mm, 100×100mm, and 125×125mm. Rectangular: 100×75mm, 125×100mm, and 150×100mm. Please specify your required connection size when ordering.
The Polished Lacquered finish suits buildings where period ironwork was finished bright rather than painted — formal entrance elevations, listed properties, and settings where the grille contributes to the decorative programme of the facade. It is appropriate for conservation specifications and high-specification heritage new build.
