Cast iron square pipe ornamental earband (Pattern C) for 75mm x 75mm and 100mm x 100mm square rainwater downpipes on period, listed and traditional buildings.
UK delivery from £30. Fittings are despatched boxed. See delivery rates.
The Square Pipe Ornamental Earband Pattern C is a decorative cast iron collar for square downpipes, with fleur-de-lis fixing ears with scrolled acanthus leaves. It is specified on conservation and listed building projects where Pattern C matches the surviving ornamental earbands on the original installation, so the restored elevation keeps the correct decorative detail.
Ornamental earbands were a standard feature on formal Victorian and Edwardian facades, including civic buildings, churches, large commercial premises and institutional architecture, where the downpipe run was treated as part of the architectural composition. Cast to BS 460:2002 and available for 75mm x 75mm (3″ x 3″) and 100mm x 100mm (4″ x 4″) square pipe, in primer or black painted finish. Linseed oil and heritage colour finishes are available on request. For specification support, call 0333 987 4452.

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.
Size selection depends on the distance between the mounting point and the rooflight frame, and the desired throw (opening distance). Our telescopic openers are available in 150mm, 250mm, and 300mm; the screw-jack stay is available in 300mm with a 250mm throw. For guidance on sizing for your specific rooflight, please call 0333 987 4452 or use the contact form.
Prices are shown on each product page for both sizes and all three finishes. For project quantities, specification support, or conservation enquiries, call us on 0333 987 4452 or use the contact form on our website.
