Side rafter rise and fall bracket for G46 cast iron gutter.
Sizes available:
100mm x 75mm
125mm x 75mm
We also manufacture side rafter rise and fall brackets for moulded and Og guttering made by: Osma, Marley, Hunter and Lindab
The RB501G46 is a side rafter rise and fall bracket for the G46 moulded cast iron gutter. Where there is no fascia board — on open eaves, or where the rafter face is the only available fixing point — the RB501G46 mounts directly to the side face of the rafter and provides adjustable support at the correct height for the gutter run. The bracket cup is shaped specifically for the G46 moulded section.
Available in both G46 profile sizes: 125mm (5″) and 150mm (6″). Zinc-plated steel finish. The threaded rise and fall cup allows precise fall setting at each bracket position independently of the rafter pitch — important on the large Victorian and Edwardian buildings where the G46 is the standard profile and long gutter runs require accurate gradient management.
Specified on listed buildings and heritage restoration projects where the G46 moulded pattern is the historically correct profile. The RB501G46 is the G46 equivalent of the RB501 bracket range.
Compatibility: G46 moulded cast iron gutter 125mm and 150mm only. For specification support, call 0333 987 4452.

We do offer a range of Ogee patterned gutters in both straight and radius profiles. The straight profiles are much more common and as such cost less.
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.

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.
Yes. The polished chrome telescopic rooflight hand winder opener is compatible with Lumen Rooflights and most timber-framed skylights. Call 0333 987 4452 to confirm compatibility with a specific rooflight model.
Yes. The Louvre Airbrick is dimensioned to standard brick course openings and is suitable for direct replacement of worn, broken, or missing original cast iron louvre grilles. If you are unsure of the size required, measure the opening in the brickwork rather than the existing damaged grille.
The polished chrome telescopic rooflight hand winder opener is available in multiple sizes. The telescopic mechanism adjusts to accommodate varying rooflight positions and throw requirements. For a full list of available sizes, visit tuscanfoundry.com or call 0333 987 4452.

Yes. Cast iron rainwater goods are widely accepted by conservation officers and historic environment bodies as the appropriate material for listed buildings. Tuscan Foundry's hopper heads are manufactured in solid cast iron to BS 460 specification and are suitable for all listed building grades. A linseed oil paint finish is also available, which is particularly appropriate for conservation projects.
The standards for our cast iron gutters and pipes have remained remarkably constant for many years. The physical properties of cast iron are sustained throughout its lifetime thus maintaining its effectiveness. Coupled with is durability and proper maintenance, we would expect our traditional cast iron rainwater products to last for over 50 years under normal conditions.
The Ornamental Airbrick (OAB) is available in three sizes: 225mm × 75mm (2.8kg), 225mm × 150mm (4.1kg), and 225mm × 225mm (5.8kg). All sizes have a uniform depth of 75mm, making them consistent to install across a subfloor ventilation course.
