Rectangular Pipe Socket Plain

Price range: £124.00 through £269.70 ex VAT (£148.80 – £323.64 inc VAT)

Cast iron plain loose socket for rectangular downpipes, 100x75mm to 150x100mm, in primer or black painted finish.

UK delivery from £30. Fittings are despatched boxed. See delivery rates.

The Rectangular Pipe Socket Plain is a separate cast iron socket without ears. It slips over a spigot to make a joint at any point in a rectangular downpipe run fixed with holderbats or earbands.

It is used where a plain pipe has been cut and the socket end lost, or where two spigot ends must be joined. The moulded band matches the socket on plain pipe so the joint reads correctly on the elevation.

Where a fixing is needed at the joint, use the Rectangular Pipe Loose Eared Socket.

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.

FAQ Categories

All FAQ
When would I use a plain loose socket?
Where a plain pipe has been cut and needs a socket on the cut end, or to join two spigot ends on a run fixed with holderbats or earbands.
What is the difference between eared and un-eared?
Eared fittings have integral fixing ears cast on the socket and are screwed directly to the wall. Un-eared fittings have a plain socket and are fixed with holderbats or earbands.
Which rectangular pipe sizes are available?
Four sizes: 100mm x 75mm (4" x 3"), 125mm x 70mm, 125mm x 100mm (5" x 4") and 150mm x 100mm (6" x 4"). Measure across the outside of the existing pipe, broad face first.
Is the Rectangular Pipe Socket Plain suitable for a listed building?
Yes. It is a traditional cast iron fitting made to BS 460:2002 in the moulded profile found on period rectangular downpipe runs. It can be supplied in primer, black, or hand-applied linseed oil paint in heritage colours for conservation work.
