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 plain-ended cast iron pipe supplied in 3 metre lengths. It is cut to length on site and joined to fittings with couplings, so there are no sockets to accommodate and runs can be altered later by releasing a coupling.
Available in 4 sizes, from 50mm to 150mm. Nominal weights run from 15.7 kg (50mm) to 45.2 kg (150mm).
Typical use: Straight runs of above-ground soil and waste systems, cut to suit between fittings.
| Size | Product code | Nominal weight |
|---|---|---|
| 50mm | MS2001 | 15.7 kg |
| 70mm | MS3001 | 19.4 kg |
| 100mm | MS4001 | 29.7 kg |
| 150mm | MS6001 | 45.2 kg |
Often used with: Ductile Iron Coupling with Continuity, Coated Pipe Bracket, Access Pipe with Round Door, 15° Short Radius Bend.
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.
Prices are per item, excluding VAT and delivery. Stock items are usually dispatched within 5 to 7 working days. For a full stack or drainage schedule, or advice on the right fittings, call 0333 987 4452 or use the contact form.
It is available in 50mm (MS2001), 70mm (MS3001), 100mm (MS4001), 150mm (MS6001).
Cut it square with a proprietary cast iron pipe cutter or an abrasive disc, then remove any burr. A square, clean end is what lets the coupling seal properly. Touch up the cut end with paint before fitting.
Support every length with at least one bracket, normally close to the coupling, with additional brackets on longer horizontal runs. Vertical stacks also need stack supports at intervals so the weight is not carried by the lowest fitting.

Our cast iron hopper heads are available with 65mm, 75mm and 100mm round outlets, 75mm, 100mm and 125mm square outlets, and 100x75mm, 125x100mm and 150x125mm rectangular outlets, to match the downpipe already on site or specified for the project.
In most cases, replacing like-for-like cast iron guttering on a listed building does not require Listed Building Consent (LBC), provided the replacement matches the existing profile, material, and finish exactly. However, any change of material away from cast iron will almost always require consent. We recommend consulting your local conservation officer before proceeding, and we can provide specification documentation to support your application if required.
Hopper heads are supplied in red oxide primer ready for on-site painting, or pre-finished in black. A full range of Heritage Colours in traditional linseed oil paint is also available on request — please contact us for the swatch chart.
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.
The physical properties of cast iron are sustained throughout its working life, so with proper maintenance we'd expect our gutters and pipes to last over 100 years under normal conditions.
Our cast iron hopper heads are available in a standard primed and black-painted finish, ready for on-site topcoats. Heritage colour finishes and factory-applied linseed oil paint are available on request. Linseed oil paint is a vapour-permeable, period-appropriate finish particularly well suited to listed buildings and conservation area properties.
BTU stand’s for British Thermal Units. This was the old (Imperial) measurement for heat in connection with plumbing. Although BTU’s is a term still commonly used within the heating and plumbing, the industry is now going over to KW’s Kilowatts.

The H534 measures 430mm wide x 240mm deep x 366mm high, making it well suited to Victorian villas and townhouses.
