Cast iron access pipe with bolted inspection door for rectangular downpipes, 100x75mm to 150x100mm, eared or un-eared, primer or black painted finish.
UK delivery from £45. Longer items are despatched palletised. See delivery rates.
The Rectangular Access Pipe is a short cast iron pipe length with a bolted inspection door, giving a point in the downpipe run where blockages can be cleared without dismantling the pipe.
Access pipes are usually fitted near the foot of a run, above a shoe or gully, or below a hopper head where leaves and debris collect. The door is sealed and bolted, and sits on the face of the pipe for easy reach.
Choose eared, with fixing ears on the socket, or un-eared to match a run fixed with holderbats or earbands.
All fittings in our rectangular range are cast iron to BS 460:2002, made to the same moulded profile so pipes and fittings line up neatly on the elevation. Every fitting is supplied either in primer, ready for painting on site, or in factory black. For listed buildings and conservation areas we also offer hand-applied linseed oil paint in heritage colours, which stays breathable and flexible and is straightforward to maintain. Stocked items are usually dispatched within 5 to 7 working days; allow around 6 to 7 weeks where a linseed oil finish is specified.
Rectangular pipe sizes: 100mm x 75mm (4″ x 3″), 125mm x 70mm, 125mm x 100mm (5″ x 4″) and 150mm x 100mm (6″ x 4″).
Suitable for listed buildings, conservation areas and heritage restoration. For specification support or a project quotation, call 0333 987 4452.
