A genuine cast iron rainwater pattern orignally used in and around Nottingham, hence Notts Ogee. The profile is only available in the one size (4.5″) and has a flat base unlike the more traditional ogee (OG) curved pattern.
The cast iron Notts OG 135 degree angle provides an obtuse corner fitting for the Notts Ogee profile, handling bay windows, canted elevations, and building corners that require an obtuse turn. The asymmetric front face of the Notts OG is maintained through the fitting, preserving the profile’s character throughout the run on Nottingham and East Midlands period properties.
As with all Notts OG fittings, the 135 degree angle is handed — internal and external variants exist, and the asymmetric profile means fittings cannot be reversed to suit a different configuration. Identify the correct internal or external type for your application before ordering.
Manufactured in solid cast iron to BS 460:2002. Single size 115mm (4.5″). Supplied in primed or factory black finish. Commonly specified on Victorian bay-fronted terraces, villa-style houses, and civic buildings throughout Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire, Leicestershire, and the wider East Midlands where the Notts OG is the original and historically correct profile.
Compatibility: Notts OG cast iron gutter 115mm (4.5″) only. For specification support, call 0333 987 4452.

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 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.
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 classes. A linseed oil paint finish is also available, which is particularly appropriate for conservation projects.
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.
The Cast Iron Louvre Airbrick (F020802AFC) is available in 225mm × 75mm, 225mm × 150mm, and 225mm × 225mm — standard brick course heights. All sizes share a consistent depth for straightforward like-for-like replacement of original cast iron louvre airbricks.
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.
