Top rafter rise and fall bracket for half round cast iron guttering. Our zinc plated
top rafter rise and fall gutter bracket is available in the following sizes:
100mm (4″)
115mm (4.5″)
125mm (5″)
150mm (6″)
The RB500 is a zinc-plated top rafter rise and fall bracket for plain half round cast iron guttering. Where a fixed bracket is not appropriate — on open eaves, cut roof constructions, or where the rafter provides the only available fixing point — the top rafter bracket provides a secure, adjustable support mounted directly to the top surface of the rafter.
The bracket features a zinc-plated steel rafter arm for top-surface fixing, combined with a threaded rise and fall cup that allows gutter fall to be set precisely at each bracket position. Available in four sizes to suit all standard cast iron half round gutter profiles: 100mm (4″), 115mm (4.5″), 125mm (5″), and 150mm (6″).
Suited to new construction with exposed rafters, heritage restoration projects where a continuous fascia board is absent, and any situation where top rafter fixing is structurally preferred. Commonly specified alongside cast iron half round gutter sections and angle fittings on period and listed building projects where precise fall control is critical to long-term performance.
The rise and fall mechanism eliminates the need to pack or shim the bracket, allowing accurate gradient setting across long gutter runs on uneven or complex roof lines. Zinc-plated finish provides corrosion resistance for outdoor use.
Compatibility: Cast iron half round gutter profiles 100mm, 115mm, 125mm, and 150mm. For technical queries or project specification support, call 0333 987 4452.

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.
We are able to place dates and initials and insignia onto most of our flat faced rainwater hopper heads.
This opener is particularly well suited to period and heritage properties — Georgian and Victorian terraces, conservation area houses, traditional orangeries, and listed buildings where a brass finish is required to complement existing ironmongery. It is compatible with Lumen Rooflights and most timber-framed skylights.
The Ornamental Airbrick is most appropriate on Victorian Gothic buildings — churches, chapels, vicarages, almshouses, collegiate buildings, and high-specification estate architecture — where decorative ironwork was part of the original design. It suits listed building replacements in kind and heritage new build where period accuracy in detailing is expected.
Cast iron hopper heads are priced on enquiry due to the range of connection and finish options available. Please call us on 0333 987 4452 or use the contact form and we will respond promptly with a quotation tailored to your project requirements.
Our cast iron hopper heads are available in a choice of finishes including primer, painted, and specialist heritage finishes. Please call us on 0333 987 4452 or submit an enquiry to discuss the right finish for your project.
Yes. The Louvre Airbrick is dimensioned to standard brick course openings and is suitable for direct replacement of worn, broken, or missing original cast iron louvre grilles. If you are unsure of the size required, measure the opening in the brickwork rather than the existing damaged grille.
For rooflights directly above a worktop or sink, a telescopic screw-jack hand winder is the most practical choice. Available in polished brass, satin chrome, and polished chrome, these openers allow controlled ventilation from a fixed handle position without requiring a pole. The 150mm or 250mm size is typically appropriate for standard-height kitchen rooflights.
Prices vary depending on size and finish. To get a quotation, please call 0333 987 4452 or use the contact form on the Tuscan Foundry website. The team can advise on the right specification for your project and provide a written quote.
