Tuscan EN877 Drain is a socketless cast iron drainage system made to BS EN 877, for below-ground drainage and suspended drainage runs in basements, undercrofts and plant areas. Plain-ended pipes and fittings are joined with bolted couplings. The result is a rigid, non-combustible system that resists crushing and root ingress, and copes with the loads found under buildings and hard landscaping.
A 45° single branch with a smaller inlet than the main run, for example 100mm × 50mm. It brings a smaller pipe into the stack or drain without a separate taper.
Available in 3 sizes, from 150mm × 100mm to 200mm × 150mm. Nominal weights run from 5.8 kg (150mm × 100mm) to 13.2 kg (200mm × 150mm).
Typical use: Waste and branch connections into a larger stack or drain.
| Size | Product code | Nominal weight |
|---|---|---|
| 150mm × 100mm | HD6026 | 5.8 kg |
| 200mm × 100mm | HD8026 | 9.1 kg |
| 200mm × 150mm | HD8027 | 13.2 kg |
Often used with: 45° Single Equal Branch, Double Spigot Pipe 3m, Ductile Iron Coupling, Taper Pipe.

Prices are per item, excluding VAT and delivery. Stock items are usually dispatched within 5 to 7 working days, and non-stock sizes within 7 to 10 working days. For a full stack or drainage schedule, or advice on the right fittings, call 0333 987 4452 or use the contact form.
It is available in 150mm × 100mm (HD6026), 200mm × 100mm (HD8026), 200mm × 150mm (HD8027).
The first figure is the main run and the second is the branch. A 100mm × 50mm branch fits a 100mm stack and takes a 50mm branch pipe.
A 45° branch joins at a swept angle so the incoming flow travels with the main flow. It is the usual choice for junctions in horizontal drains and for steeply falling connections.

The H460 is well suited to Georgian, Regency, and Victorian buildings where a plain, undecorated rectangular hopper is the appropriate choice — particularly listed properties, conservation area buildings, and institutional or commercial buildings in historic town centres. Its clean, restrained form makes it equally appropriate on modern heritage-style construction where period accuracy is required without ornamental detail.
Yes, provided they are sized for the lower water temperature. Outputs are published at ΔT50; at ΔT30 a section gives about half that, so heat pump systems usually need more sections or a deeper pattern. We can prepare a radiator schedule at your heat pump design temperature.
Our brackets are more commonly used on cast iron rainwater systems. Unlike plastic, cast iron is heavy and the weight keeps the gutter in position. As such our brackets do not normally have retaining clips which could lead to plastic or lightweight gutters blowing out of the bracket. The profile of your gutter should match that of our bracket but without the weight to keep it in place you may well encounter problems in bad weather.
The right size depends on the width of your gutter run and the volume of water you need to collect. The Strayton H42A is available in four widths: 305mm (12"), 355mm (14"), 457mm (18"), and 610mm (24"). As a general guide, wider hoppers suit larger roof areas and heavier rainfall zones. If you are unsure, our team can advise based on your gutter profile and catchment area — call 0333 987 4452.
The physical properties of cast iron are sustained throughout its working life, so with proper maintenance we'd expect our gutters and pipes to last over 100 years under normal conditions.
Yes. Cast iron hopper heads are the historically correct choice for listed and period buildings, and a like-for-like cast iron replacement is generally accepted without objection by conservation officers. We manufacture to BS 460 for genuine heritage character and durability.
Yes. Cast iron is the original material for external soil stacks on most period buildings, and like-for-like replacement in cast iron is usually what conservation officers expect. Check with your local planning authority whether listed building consent is needed for the works.

The School Board Airbrick (F020801AFC) is available in three standard sizes: 225mm × 75mm, 225mm × 150mm, and 225mm × 225mm. These correspond to one-, two-, and three-brick-course heights and allow ventilation requirements to be met across a range of subfloor and wall opening sizes.
