A genuine cast iron rainwater pattern the G46 or No.46 is available in two profile sizes. The profile is a larger version of the more traditional ogee (OG) curved pattern and offers increased capacity.
UK delivery from £30. Fittings are despatched boxed. See delivery rates.
The cast iron G46 moulded gutter 135 degree angle provides an obtuse corner fitting for the G46 pattern, handling bay windows, canted elevations, and returns on the large Victorian and Edwardian properties where the G46 is the standard profile. The full G46 moulded cross-section is maintained through the angle, ensuring the profile reads consistently at every junction.
Manufactured in solid cast iron to BS 460:2002. Available in both profile sizes: 125mm (5″) and 150mm (6″). Supplied in primed or factory black finish. The G46 135 degree angle is not interchangeable with common ogee fittings — all fittings must be from the G46 range.
Commonly specified on country houses, rectories, civic buildings, and large institutional properties where the prominent bay-fronted or multi-faceted elevation requires the obtuse angle fitting to complete the gutter run correctly. Accepted by conservation officers as the appropriate fitting for period rainwater work.
Compatibility: G46 moulded cast iron gutter 125mm and 150mm only. For specification support, call 0333 987 4452.

The Gothic foliate tracery design of the Ornamental Airbrick provides a good free-flow ventilation area relative to its face size. The open area is comparable to other standard cast iron airbrick patterns. The visual density of the pattern at a distance reads as solid ironwork, which suits formal and decorative elevations without compromising subfloor ventilation effectiveness.
The Ornamental Airbrick is most appropriate on Victorian Gothic buildings — churches, chapels, vicarages, almshouses, collegiate buildings, and high-specification estate architecture — where decorative ironwork was part of the original design. It suits listed building replacements in kind and heritage new build where period accuracy in detailing is expected.
The Ornamental Airbrick is suited to Victorian villas, bay-fronted terraces, Gothic Revival institutional buildings, church halls, and civic buildings where decorative ironwork is part of the architectural language. It is also appropriate for listed buildings and conservation area properties where the airbrick is on a prominent elevation and the ventilation grille is expected to carry decorative character.
The Iron Works Patterned Hit & Miss Vent suits Victorian and Edwardian buildings where decorative cast iron or brass ventilation grilles were part of the original specification — including terrace houses, civic buildings, churches, entrance halls, and estate properties. It is appropriate on listed buildings and conservation area properties as a like-for-like decorative vent replacement, and on new heritage-quality construction where period detailing is required.
