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.

Yes. Cast iron rainwater goods are widely accepted by conservation officers and historic environment bodies as the appropriate material for listed buildings.

The H529 measures 430mm wide x 290mm deep x 540mm high, making it well suited to multi-storey Georgian and Victorian townhouses with a longer fall to the outlet.
LCC is traditional cast iron socket-and-spigot soil pipe made to BS 416-1:1990. Each length has a socket at one end and a spigot at the other, and joints are packed with caulking cord and finished with a jointing sealant. It is supplied with a black bitumen coating and is the like-for-like choice for external soil stacks on Victorian and Edwardian buildings. See the Traditional LCC range.
Casting of iron is an imperfect processs. It is possible with some cast iron radiators that you will get minor imperfections in the surface finish. When radiators are painted this will reduce and over the years every additional coat of paint applied will provide a smoother more equal finish.
