The Square Pipe Ornamental Earband Pattern J is a decorative cast iron collar for square downpipes, with six-petal flower rosette fixing ears. It is specified on conservation and listed building projects where Pattern J matches the surviving ornamental earbands on the original installation, so the restored elevation keeps the correct decorative detail.
