An eared cast iron round access pipe with a bolted oval inspection door, for clearing blockages without dismantling the downpipe.

Finishes: supplied primed as standard, or factory black painted. Linseed oil paint finishes are available on request.
UK delivery from £30. Fittings are despatched boxed. See delivery rates.
The eared round access pipe is a short cast iron downpipe section with a bolted oval inspection door, used to clear leaves, silt and debris from a rainwater pipe without taking the run apart. The cast ears on the socket fix it to the wall with pipe nails or bobbins, so it sits in line with eared downpipe lengths either side.
The oval door is cast to the curve of the pipe and bolted closed. Bed it on a suitable sealant on assembly to keep the joint watertight. A plain (non-eared) cast iron access pipe is also available for runs fixed with holderbats or earbands.
Where to fit access pipes: at the foot of a stack above the shoe or gully, directly above offsets and bends, and below hopper heads on buildings close to trees. On listed buildings, access in the right places avoids breaking joints or cutting pipe to clear a blockage.
Sizes: 65mm (2½″), 75mm (3″) and 100mm (4″) diameter.
Cast in solid grey iron in the UK to BS 460:2002. Supplied primed for site painting or factory black painted, with linseed oil paint finishes available on request.

Yes. The Louvre Airbrick is dimensioned to standard brick course openings and is suitable for direct replacement of worn, broken, or missing original cast iron louvre grilles. If you are unsure of the size required, measure the opening in the brickwork rather than the existing damaged grille.
The H530 measures 330mm wide x 150mm deep x 350mm high, making it well suited to Georgian and Victorian terraces, where a compact, narrow footprint is needed.
The School Board Airbrick (F020801AFC) is available in three standard sizes: 225mm × 75mm, 225mm × 150mm, and 225mm × 225mm. These correspond to one-, two-, and three-brick-course heights and allow ventilation requirements to be met across a range of subfloor and wall opening sizes.

Yes. Bespoke copy casting is a core service at Tuscan Foundry Products. We can replicate any cast iron gutter, downpipe, hopper head, or fitting from drawings, detailed photographs, or a physical sample or surviving section. Each commission is assessed individually. Lead time is typically 12 to 14 weeks, and quantities as low as a single piece can be considered depending on pattern-making costs.
