View full detailsAlumasc cast iron downpipes are designed for heritage buildings and conservation led projects where original material specification must be retained. The solid cast iron construction offers long lasting structural strength along with authentic historical detailing that has been trusted for decades. Once coated they provide excellent weather resistance and continue performing reliably with minimal ongoing maintenance. These downpipes are available in a range of sizes and can be paired with Alumasc cast iron gutters and hoppers to complete a fully accurate traditional rainwater installation that protects the building while staying true to its architectural origins.
What fixing pattern should I allow for on downpipes?
Fix at every socketed joint and at intermediate centres in line with manufacturer guidance. Use eared sockets and appropriate masonry anchors for solid backgrounds. This keeps runs aligned and resists wind and impact loads.
What common accessories speed up maintenance on site?
Access pipes, rodding eyes, shoes, offsets and branches are standard, allowing straightforward rodding from ground level and clean alignment from outlets to gullies.
Are eared and uneared options both available?
Yes. Use eared sockets for direct wall fixing and uneared with separate clips where detailing or substrates require it.
What standards and finishes do Alumasc cast iron rainwater products comply with?
All Alumasc Apex Heritage cast iron gutters, downpipes and fittings are manufactured to BS 460:2002 for cast iron rainwater goods and supplied either factory primed or with a high-performance two-pack painted finish. Factory finishes are certified for long-term protection and colour consistency.
What are the typical lengths, bracket centres and falls for installation?
Most gutters and downpipes are supplied in 1.83 m (6 ft) lengths. Gutters are typically bracketed at 915 mm centres with extra brackets either side of joints, outlets and angles, and set to a fall of roughly 1:600 to 1:350.
How are joints made and sealed on site?
Traditional spigot-into-socket joints are made using a low-modulus silicone or rubberised bitumen mastic, then bolted through the pre-drilled joint holes using corrosion-resistant bolts and washers.
What about durability, repainting and lifecycle?
Cast iron is extremely strong, vandal-resistant and dimensionally stable. Life expectancy is typically 40+ years with correct installation and periodic maintenance. Factory-painted finishes minimise site time; primed goods can be site painted to the required scheme.
Are Alumasc cast iron systems suitable for heritage and sustainable projects?
Yes. They are widely used on listed and conservation properties because they replicate traditional profiles and details, and cast iron is 100% recyclable at end of life.
