Sizes available:
115mm (4.5″)

The RB500NOG is a top rafter rise and fall bracket for the Notts OG cast iron gutter — the regional ogee profile originally used in Nottingham and the East Midlands. Where open eaves construction or the absence of a fascia board requires fixing to the top surface of a rafter, the RB500NOG provides secure, adjustable support. The bracket cup is shaped specifically for the Notts OG’s asymmetric cross-section.
The threaded rise and fall cup allows precise fall setting at each bracket position independently of the rafter pitch, eliminating shimming and packing on long runs. Single size to suit the 115mm (4.5″) Notts OG profile. Zinc-plated steel finish for outdoor corrosion resistance.
Specified on listed buildings and heritage restoration projects in Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire, Leicestershire, and the wider East Midlands where the Notts OG is the historically correct profile.
Compatibility: Notts OG cast iron gutter 115mm (4.5″) only. For specification support, call 0333 987 4452.

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.
Our cast iron airbricks are supplied in primed finish, ready for on-site painting. This allows them to be finished to match the existing ironwork or masonry colour of the building. Standard black gloss is the most common finish for conservation and heritage projects.
