Wooden Pipe Spacing Bobbin for Cast Iron Pipes
CODE WB Category Cast Iron Gutter & Pipe Accessories

Wooden Pipe Bobbin Spacer (30mm)

£2.63 +VAT

The wooden pipe bobbin spacer is used to hold a cast iron downpipe away from the wall surface at a controlled distance of 40mm. The bobbin is fixed to the wall and the pipe sits within or against it, creating a consistent and stable standoff along the full length of the pipe run. This standoff allows air to circulate behind the pipe, reducing the risk of damp penetration, condensation, and the accelerated corrosion that can occur when a cast iron pipe sits directly in contact with a masonry wall.

A practical maintenance and conservation detail on period and listed buildings — ensuring the downpipe runs clear of the wall face extends the life of both the pipe and the masonry behind it. Suitable for use with round and rectangular cast iron downpipes. Supplied individually. For specification support, call 0333 987 4452.

All FAQ
Can the Iron Works Hit & Miss Vent be used externally?

Can the Iron Works Hit & Miss Vent be used externally?

The Antique Black cast iron version is suitable for external use. The Polished Lacquered version is best suited to interiors or sheltered external locations where the polished finish will be protected from weathering. The Polished Brass version is suited to interior and semi-exposed locations. For external applications on exposed elevations, the Antique Black finish is the recommended specification.

Is the Ornamental Airbrick appropriate for a Grade II listed building?

Is the Ornamental Airbrick appropriate for a Grade II listed building?

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.

What building types is the Cast Iron Louvre Airbrick suited to?

What building types is the Cast Iron Louvre Airbrick suited to?

The Cast Iron Louvre Airbrick suits Victorian and Edwardian terraced housing, semi-detached properties, public houses, agricultural buildings, and workshop structures where the original airbrick was a louvre-face grille. The horizontal fin profile is widely found in British domestic and light industrial construction from the 1870s through to the 1950s.

What building types is the Iron Works Hit & Miss Vent in Polished Lacquered suited to?

What building types is the Iron Works Hit & Miss Vent in Polished Lacquered suited to?

The Polished Lacquered finish suits buildings where period ironwork was finished bright rather than painted — formal entrance elevations, listed properties, and settings where the grille contributes to the decorative programme of the facade. It is appropriate for conservation specifications and high-specification heritage new build.

Is a cast iron hopper head suitable for use on a listed building?

Is a cast iron hopper head suitable for use on a listed building?

Yes. Cast iron rainwater goods are widely accepted by conservation officers and historic environment bodies as the appropriate material for listed buildings. Tuscan Foundry's hopper heads are manufactured in solid cast iron to BS 460 specification and are suitable for all listed building grades. A linseed oil paint finish is also available, which is particularly appropriate for conservation projects.

What is a corner hopper head and when do I need one?

What is a corner hopper head and when do I need one?

A corner hopper head collects rainwater from two gutters running at right angles and channels it into a single downpipe. They are typically required at internal roof valleys, on hipped roofs, and wherever two runs of gutter converge at a corner. The Regent H1A is designed specifically for this application and is sized to suit the most common gutter profiles.

What types of rooflight opener are available in brass and chrome finishes?

What types of rooflight opener are available in brass and chrome finishes?

Options include telescopic hand-winder openers in 150mm, 250mm, and 300mm sizes, fixed screw-jack stays, and pole-operated handles for high-level rooflights. All are designed for timber-framed rooflights and skylights.
