Rectangular Access Pipe

£310.26 – £371.95Price range: £310.26 through £371.95 +VAT

Clear

The Rectangular Access Pipe is a cast iron rectangular downpipe section with an integral hinged access door, allowing the inside of the pipe to be inspected and cleared without dismantling the run. Essential on any rectangular downpipe installation where blockages may occur — on buildings with trees nearby, on runs discharging from flat roofs, or on systems with debris-prone guttering above.

Specified on listed buildings and heritage conservation projects where regular maintenance access to the downpipe run is required. The access door allows a rodding tool or cleaning equipment to be inserted without the disruption and risk of removing pipe sections from a historic masonry facade. Available in the standard range of rectangular pipe sizes. Manufactured in cast iron to BS 460:2002. For specification support and sizing advice, call 0333 987 4452.

My builder has calculated out our heating requirement in each room of our house in BTU’s. Can you tell me what BTU’s stand for, and is this different to KW.

BTU stand’s for British Thermal Units. This was the old (Imperial) measurement for heat in connection with plumbing. Although BTU’s is a term still commonly used within the heating and plumbing, the industry is now going over to KW’s Kilowatts.

What building types is the Iron Works Patterned Hit & Miss Vent suited to?

The Iron Works Patterned Hit & Miss Vent suits Victorian and Edwardian buildings where decorative cast iron or brass ventilation grilles were part of the original specification — including terrace houses, civic buildings, churches, entrance halls, and estate properties. It is appropriate on listed buildings and conservation area properties as a like-for-like decorative vent replacement, and on new heritage-quality construction where period detailing is required.

Can the Iron Works Hit & Miss Vent be used externally?

The Antique Black cast iron version is suitable for external use.
