Wooden Pipe Bobbin For Fixing Cast Iron Downpipe

£4.36 +VAT

Wooden pipe bobbin – 30mm projection for fixing cast iron downpipes.

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.

My house has a plastic guttering system. Can I use your brackets to replace my exisiting broken ones?

My house has a plastic guttering system. Can I use your brackets to replace my exisiting broken ones?

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.

Do your steel brackets have a protective coating?

Do your steel brackets have a protective coating?

Yes. All our mild steel brackets are supplied in either silver or black zinc plate. This coating protects the metal however, both will need painting prior to installation.

We have chosen to use zinc plating for two reasons; firstly that it is a more environmentally friendly than galvanising and secondly that it does not block up the threaded part of the rise and fall cups in the way that galvanising does.
