Cast iron rectangular downpipes are used on Georgian, Victorian, and Edwardian buildings where a rectangular — rather than round or square — cross-section pipe was the original specification. The rectangular profile has a lower visual impact on the building elevation than a square or round pipe of equivalent capacity: the narrow dimension sits close to the wall face whilst the wider dimension takes the pipe face, giving a flatter, more recessed appearance. On formal terraces, civic buildings, institutional architecture, and larger period properties, the rectangular pipe delivers the required drainage capacity with minimal disruption to the facade.
The Rectangular Pipe Eared is the standard eared cast iron rectangular downpipe section, with integral ears cast into the pipe body for direct wall fixing. The eared pipe is the most commonly specified rectangular downpipe section — the ears allow the pipe to be secured to the wall surface without a separate bracket, replicating the original fixing method on period masonry buildings.

The Paxton H82 is a large-format hopper with decorative collar mouldings, making it particularly well suited to late Victorian and Edwardian buildings where the rainwater system forms part of the architectural composition. Typical applications include commercial heritage buildings, civic buildings, large detached houses, institutional premises, and warehouse conversions where a more substantial fitting is appropriate.
