RB500 – Top Rafter Rise and Fall Bracket for Plain Half Round Gutter

£25.85 – £29.15Price range: £25.85 through £29.15 +VAT

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″)

Clear

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.

Where can I purchase cheap cast iron gutter and pipe?

Where can I purchase cheap cast iron gutter and pipe?

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.

For more information concerning National Maintenance Week visit the Society for the Protect of Ancient Buildings (SPAB) at www.maintainyourbuilding.org.uk

What building types is the Iron Works Patterned Hit & Miss Vent suited to?

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.
