H3 large deep half, round cast iron gutter – deep cast iron guttering half-round
Plain deep half-round gutter No. 44
Sizes Available:
125 x 100mm
150 x 100mm
200 x 100mm
(Large deep cast iron guttering for listed and period properties)
The TFH3 is a large sand cast plain deep half round gutter — a substantial cast iron profile suited to buildings where standard stock sizes are insufficient for the roof area or drainage load. Also known as the No.44 pattern, it is the large-format equivalent of the standard plain deep half round and is typically specified on Victorian and Edwardian country houses, institutional buildings, large churches, and heritage estate properties where the roof area demands a high-capacity gutter without the additional decorative detail of a moulded or ogee profile.
The plain deep half round cross-section gives a clean, unfussy appearance that sits comfortably on utilitarian and agricultural heritage buildings as well as more formal period architecture. The deep section provides significantly greater drainage capacity than standard half round profiles of equivalent face width.
Available in three sizes: 125×100mm, 150×100mm, and 200×100mm. Manufactured in sand cast iron to BS 460:2002. Supplied in grey primer or black painted finish. Fittings and brackets are available to suit the full range of sizes — contact Tuscan Foundry Products to discuss your project requirements.
Suitable for: Large period properties, country houses, institutional buildings, churches, estate and agricultural heritage buildings. Call for price: 0333 987 4452.

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.
Yes. The ornamental foliate pattern was widely used in Victorian construction and is appropriate for Grade II listed buildings and conservation area properties. Its decorative character is often preferable to a plain pattern on prominent or formal elevations. We recommend confirming the pattern with your conservation officer as part of any listed building consent application.
Yes. Decorative cast iron and brass ventilation grilles of this pattern were widely used in Victorian and Edwardian buildings, and like-for-like replacements are generally accepted by conservation officers for listed building works. We can provide product specifications and material details to support listed building consent applications if required.
