The steel holdfast is the traditional fixing for plain cast iron round downpipe: a spike driven or built into a mortar joint, with a collar that holds the pipe clear of the wall.
Fix a holdfast below the socket of each length so the joint is supported. Because the spike goes into the mortar rather than the face of the brick or stone, it avoids drilling historic masonry, and it can often reuse existing holdfast positions. Holding the pipe off the wall lets the back be painted and keeps it away from damp masonry.
Specify holdfasts for plain pipe runs on stone and brick buildings, particularly where historic holdfasts survive and the brief is like-for-like replacement. Use at least one per length, with additional holdfasts at offsets and on tall runs.
Sizes: 65mm (2½″), 75mm (3″) and 100mm (4″) diameter.
Made from steel and supplied primed or black painted, to match the finish of the pipework.
Suitable for listed buildings and conservation area work. For specification advice, a full schedule or a quotation, call 0333 987 4452 or use the contact form.

We manufacture a wide variety of brackets for many different cast iron gutter and pipe profiles. More common types are the rise and fall, top fix and side fix rafter and the holderbat or pipe clip.
We can also offer traditional drive brackets, repair brackets and fascia brackets in both steel and cast iron.
It is always advisable to replace like with like because quite often the brackets form and important part of the buildings architecture. Occasionally buildings have special decorative brackets and our UK manufacturing allows us to produce small quantities of bespoke brackets when required.
