The RB500BH is a top rafter rise and fall bracket for beaded half round cast iron guttering. Where open eaves construction or the absence of a fascia board requires fixing to the top surface of a rafter, the RB500BH provides a secure, adjustable support that allows precise fall setting across the gutter run. The bracket cup is designed for the beaded half round profile — the standard for Scotland and northern England — ensuring correct fit without modification.
Available in four sizes to suit all standard beaded half round gutter profiles: 100mm (4″), 115mm (4.5″), 125mm (5″), and 150mm (6″). Zinc-plated steel finish for outdoor corrosion resistance. The threaded rise and fall mechanism eliminates shimming and allows accurate gradient control on long runs or complex roof lines.
Commonly specified on Scottish and northern English heritage restoration projects where open eaves are a feature of the original design, and on older buildings where top-rafter fixing is structurally preferable. The RB500BH is the beaded half round equivalent of the RB500 bracket range.
Compatibility: Beaded half round cast iron gutter 100mm, 115mm, 125mm, 150mm. For project specification, call 0333 987 4452.

Yes. The ornamental foliate pattern was widely used in Victorian construction and is appropriate for Grade II listed buildings and conservation area properties. Its decorative character is often preferable to a plain pattern on prominent or formal elevations. We recommend confirming the pattern with your conservation officer as part of any listed building consent application.
A pole winder opener has a fixed-length arm, making it suited to standard rooflight positions with a consistent throw. A telescopic opener has an adjustable shaft, allowing it to accommodate varying rooflight positions and throw requirements. For guidance on which suits your project, call 0333 987 4452.
Yes — we strongly recommend painting all products before installation to ensure full coverage on every surface, which reduces long-term maintenance. Standard Premier Rainwater products are supplied in a grey metal primer with rust inhibitors and need two undercoats and one top coat (or one undercoat and two top coats) of a good quality exterior paint.
Our cast iron hopper heads are available with 65mm, 75mm and 100mm round outlets, 75mm, 100mm and 125mm square outlets, and 100x75mm, 125x100mm and 150x125mm rectangular outlets, to match the downpipe already on site or specified for the project.
Bespoke and copy cast iron rainwater goods typically have a lead time of 12 to 14 weeks from order confirmation. This covers pattern-making, casting, finishing, and quality inspection. Stock items are typically despatched within 5 to 7 working days, and non-stock standard profiles within 7 to 10 working days. We always recommend confirming lead times at enquiry stage so your project programme is not affected.
Our cast iron hopper heads are available in a standard primed and black-painted finish, ready for on-site topcoats. Heritage colour finishes and factory-applied linseed oil paint are available on request. Linseed oil paint is a vapour-permeable, period-appropriate finish particularly well suited to listed buildings and conservation area properties.

Yes. Cast iron hopper heads are the historically correct choice for listed and period buildings, and a like-for-like cast iron replacement is generally accepted without objection by conservation officers. We manufacture to BS 460 for genuine heritage character and durability.
