The Rectangular Pipe Loose Eared Socket is a separate cast iron socket fitting that provides an eared jointing collar at any point in a rectangular downpipe run — for example where a plain pipe needs to be joined to a plain pipe, or where a socket has been lost or damaged. The eared version incorporates integral ears so that the socket itself can be fixed to the wall, providing both a joint and a fixing point at the same position.

Used on repairs and restoration projects where a socket is needed at a position dictated by the existing installation rather than by the pipe length. Available in the standard range of rectangular pipe sizes. Manufactured in cast iron to BS 460:2002. For specification support, call 0333 987 4452.

What is the advantage of a louvre-face airbrick over a square-grid pattern?

What is the advantage of a louvre-face airbrick over a square-grid pattern?

The louvre face provides directional airflow and offers some resistance to driven rain entering the subfloor void, making it a practical choice for exposed elevations or properties in areas with significant prevailing wind and rainfall. The square-grid (school board) pattern offers a larger open ventilation area but less weather protection.
