The plain anti-splash shoe is a cast iron downpipe shoe with an extended lip that turns the discharge downward, reducing splashback onto walls, plinths and paving.
A standard shoe throws water forward. Where it discharges onto a hard surface close to the wall, much of that water rebounds onto the masonry. The anti-splash pattern controls the flow at the outlet. As a plain fitting it has no cast ears, so it suits pipe runs fixed with holdfasts, screw-to-wall brackets or ornamental earbands.
Use it where downpipes discharge onto paving, steps or a hard yard, beside doorways and paths, and on solid-walled buildings where repeated splashback is wetting lime mortar and plinth stonework. An eared version is also available.
Sizes: 65mm (2½″), 75mm (3″) and 100mm (4″) diameter.
Cast in solid grey iron in the UK to BS 460, and supplied primed for site painting or factory black painted. Linseed oil paint finishes can be quoted on request.

Linseed oil paint is the most appropriate finish for cast iron guttering on listed and historic buildings. It is breathable, flexible, and penetrating — qualities that suit the movement characteristics of cast iron through seasonal temperature changes. Tuscan Foundry Products offers a curated range of heritage linseed oil colours. For modern applications, a high-quality exterior oil-based paint system over a metal primer is also acceptable.
We do offer a range of Ogee patterned gutters in both straight and radius profiles. The straight profiles are much more common and as such cost less.

A hit and miss vent has a sliding plate on the reverse of the grille that can be moved to open or close the ventilation apertures. This allows airflow to be regulated without removing or replacing the grille. The vent can be fully open, partially open, or fully closed depending on ventilation requirements.
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.
