The RB500DH is a zinc-plated top rafter rise and fall bracket for plain deep half round cast iron guttering. Where open eaves construction or the absence of a fascia board requires fixing directly to the top surface of a rafter, the RB500DH provides a secure and adjustable support that allows precise fall setting along the gutter run.
The bracket features a zinc-plated steel rafter arm designed for top-surface rafter fixing, combined with a threaded rise and fall cup that adjusts the gutter height at each bracket position independently of the rafter pitch. Available in four sizes to suit all standard deep half round gutter profiles: 100mm (4″), 115mm (4.5″), 125mm (5″), and 150mm (6″).
Commonly specified on listed building and heritage restoration projects involving deep half round cast iron guttering, and on new construction where exposed rafters and open eaves are a feature of the design. The rise and fall mechanism eliminates the need to pack or shim the bracket, allowing accurate gradient setting across long gutter runs or on complex roof lines.
Zinc-plated finish provides corrosion resistance for outdoor use. The RB500DH is the deep half round equivalent of the RB500 bracket, dimensioned specifically for the wider and deeper profile of the deep half round section.
Compatibility: Plain deep half round cast iron gutter profiles 100mm, 115mm, 125mm, and 150mm. For project specification, call 0333 987 4452.

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.
Satin chrome has a brushed, low-sheen finish suited to contemporary interiors, while polished chrome has a bright mirror finish. Both are available in the telescopic hand winder range at Tuscan Foundry. The choice typically depends on the existing ironmongery specification.
The School Board Airbrick (F020801AFC) is available in three standard sizes: 225mm × 75mm, 225mm × 150mm, and 225mm × 225mm. These correspond to one-, two-, and three-brick-course heights and allow ventilation requirements to be met across a range of subfloor and wall opening sizes.
The Antique Black finish is cast iron with a blackened surface — the most historically accurate finish for cast iron ironwork and the most appropriate for the majority of heritage applications. Polished Lacquered is cast iron with a bright polished surface sealed with clear lacquer, suited to interiors and sheltered locations where polished ironwork is the specification. Polished Brass is solid polished brass throughout — the correct choice where existing building fittings are in brass or where a warm metal tone is required.
Polished chrome has a bright mirror finish, while satin chrome has a brushed, low-sheen appearance. Both are available in the telescopic hand winder range. The finish choice typically depends on the ironmongery specification for the project.
