The TX Push-Fit Socket Plain is the plain-ended jointing collar for the Traditional Express cast iron soil system. The socket contains a pre-fitted rubber gasket (BS EN 681-1) that provides the push-fit seal when the spigot end of a TX pipe or fitting is pushed in. The plain socket has no ears — it is fixed to the wall or soffit using a separate bracket at the socket position, allowing fixing locations to be chosen independently of joint positions.
Each joint in a TX installation requires one socket. 100mm diameter. Pre-painted black gloss finish. Part code: TX4016. From £44.85 +VAT. 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 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.
Rooflight opener handles are available in polished brass, polished chrome, and satin chrome finishes. The polished brass version is the most popular choice for heritage and period interiors. For the full range, visit tuscanfoundry.com or call 0333 987 4452.
