Wooden pipe bobbin – 30mm projection for fixing cast iron downpipes.
UK delivery from £30. Fittings are despatched boxed. See delivery rates.
The wooden pipe bobbin is used to fix cast iron downpipes to masonry walls where a soft packing or spacer is required between the pipe ear and the wall surface. The bobbin is driven into a prepared hole in the mortar joint or masonry, and the pipe fixing nail or screw passes through it to secure the pipe ear. This method creates a slightly proud fixing that protects the wall surface from direct metal contact and allows for minor adjustment of the pipe position.
A traditional fixing component that replicates the original method used on Georgian and Victorian buildings. Particularly appropriate on soft stone, brick, or lime-mortared masonry where direct hard-metal fixings could cause damage over time. Used in conjunction with pipe fixing nails for a period-accurate installation on listed and conservation buildings. For specification support, 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.
