We also manufacture top rafter rise and fall brackets for deep half round guttering made by: Osma, Marley, Hunter and Lindab

Clear

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.

Why should I choose cast iron for my rainwater system?

Why should I choose cast iron for my rainwater system?

Most old buildings have cast iron rainwater systems that should be maintained and preserved however; these inherent benefits make cast iron an ideal choice for both traditional and modern installations. It is not uncommon to see modern alternative products marketed with terms like low maintenance or easy to install and cost effective. It has even been said that ‘plastic guttering systems provide a way of achieving a traditional look with modern convenience

As well as being easier to produce, the material enabled eaves gutters to be installed more simply, since lead could only be used in this location as a lining for timber gutters. Many modern materials focus on replicating the appearance of cast iron but those materials can vary rarely offer any of the benefits. Cast iron gutters and pipes offer great strength and durability, a proven history of long life, low noise operation and fire resistance.

Most old buildings have cast iron rainwater systems that should be maintained and preserved however; these inherent benefits make cast iron an ideal choice for both traditional and modern installations. It is not uncommon to see modern alternative products marketed with terms like low maintenance or easy to install and cost effective. It has even been said that ‘plastic guttering systems provide a way of achieving a traditional look with modern convenience’.

These terms tend to refer to possible cost savings rather than any real product benefits. It is also difficult to quantify the benefits of modern convenience over traditional build quality. It is worth remembering that all rainwater goods will require some element of maintaining to ensure they are unblocked by debris and remain functional. No rainwater system cleans itself.

Today most suppliers of cast iron rainwater systems offer products in both primer or pre-painted with a 10 year protective coating. When describing modern materials, the term ‘cost effective’ is used rather than simply saying cheap. There is no doubt that the initial cost of many modern materials is less than cast iron but you might be surprised to know that over its lifespan, cast iron will cost around a third of plastic.
