The Thorsby No.132 is a square head whose whole character comes from its cornice: a bold, deeply stepped moulding that projects firmly at the top of the casting and throws a strong horizontal shadow across the face below.
Beneath it the body tapers evenly on all four sides to the outlet, entirely plain, before stepping in to a short collar. The contrast between the emphatic cornice and the quiet field beneath is the design, and it is a directly architectural one — the same relationship a classical entablature has with the wall below it.
That is why it specifies so easily on formal elevations. The stepped cornice picks up the mouldings of a classical building without competing with them, and the plain body keeps the casting calm where several occur along a frontage.
It suits Georgian and Regency work, classical civic and institutional buildings, country house principal and service elevations, and high-quality new construction in a traditional idiom.
Cast in solid iron to BS 460:2002, supplied in primer or black as standard, with heritage colours and traditional linseed oil finishes available on request.
Pipe connections: 65mm, 75mm and 100mm round; 75×75mm, 100×100mm and 125×125mm square; 100×75mm, 125×100mm and 150×125mm rectangular.
Suitable for listed buildings and conservation areas. Call 0333 987 4452 for flow rate advice on a specific roof area.

With National Maintenance week fast approaching (18th – 25th November 2011), Tuscan Foundry Products Ltd have decided to help period property owners look after rainwater systems by offering big discounts on selected cast iron gutters, pipes and fittings.
Friday 25th November is designated as National Gutters Day and on this particular day, homeowners are encouraged to check their systems for evidence of damage. Repairing sections of damaged cast iron gutter and pipe can help avoid potentially thousands of pounds of damage to brickwork.
Tuscan is offering these savings across a range of profiles and includes both primer and painted stock. The offers will only be available whilst stocks last so visit our website to view our discounted cast iron rainwater goods today.
