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.

Cast Iron Moulded46DC
The G46 moulded cast iron gutter is a larger and more decorative version of the common ogee profile. Known as the G46 or No.46 moulded pattern, it shares the elegant S-curve cross-section of the ogee but with a deeper section, more pronounced moulded detail, and significantly greater drainage capacity. It is found on Victorian and Edwardian country houses, manor houses, civic and institutional buildings, hotels, large churches, and any substantial period property where the roof area and rainfall load demanded something beyond the standard common ogee.
This section is 1829mm (6 feet) in length, manufactured in solid cast iron to BS 460:2002. Available in two profile sizes: 125mm (5″) and 150mm (6″). Supplied in primed or factory black finish as standard. The socket-and-spigot joint connects sections in a run, with union clips and jointing compound completing the watertight seal.
Accepted by conservation officers and listed building authorities as the appropriate heritage material for period properties where the G46 moulded pattern is the historically correct profile. The G46 is a pattern-specific gutter — angles, outlets, stop ends, brackets, and clips must all be from the G46 range, as fittings from the common ogee range are not compatible.
Where an existing G46 installation has failed in part, the section can be matched precisely and supplied for a repair-and-replace specification, preserving the character of the original system without full replacement.

Georgian properties typically used Half Round or ogee-style guttering, often in larger sizes to handle the roof areas of substantial period buildings. Large sand cast gutter profiles are appropriate for grander Georgian architecture, particularly country houses, institutions, and formal terraces. If the original guttering has been lost or damaged, a site survey can establish the most appropriate profile from the building
Tuscan Foundry supplies screw-jack rooflight openers in polished brass, satin chrome, and polished chrome finishes. Options include telescopic hand-winder openers in 150mm, 250mm, and 300mm sizes, fixed screw-jack stays, and pole-operated handles for high-level rooflights. All are designed for timber-framed rooflights and skylights.
Our brackets are more commonly used on cast iron rainwater systems. Unlike plastic, cast iron is heavy and the weight keeps the gutter in position. As such our brackets do not normally have retaining clips which could lead to plastic or lightweight gutters blowing out of the bracket. The profile of your gutter should match that of our bracket but without the weight to keep it in place you may well encounter problems in bad weather.
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.
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.

Yes. Decorative cast iron and brass ventilation grilles of this pattern were widely used in Victorian and Edwardian buildings, and like-for-like replacements are generally accepted by conservation officers for listed building works. We can provide product specifications and material details to support listed building consent applications if required.
Polished chrome has a bright mirror finish, while satin chrome has a brushed, low-sheen appearance. Both are available in the telescopic hand winder range. The finish choice typically depends on the ironmongery specification for the project.
