Cast iron guttering systems are strong and incredibly resistant to damage, with a life expectancy of over 100 years. Our round cast iron downpipes are both decorative and durable, able to withstand tough weather conditions and potential damage from transportation and vandalism.
63mm downpipes are one of the most popular sizes in the UK. This is because it has a large area to collect rainwater while remaining relatively small, so it can be installed in many different places around the home.
63mm downpipes are primarily fitted with 4" and 5" cast iron gutters, although they can be fitted to larger gutters. Our round cast iron downpipes are made to a high standard and are available in different lengths ranging from 2ft to 6ft. This ensures you can select the right size for your home or property.

ARP cast iron downpipes are manufactured to BS460:1964 and comply with all listed building, heritage and conservation requirements, making them ideal for replacing traditional cast iron systems.
Benefits of 2.5" / 63mm Downpipes
Here's why you should get a genuine cast iron downpipe:
Durability
Our downpipes are manufactured using traditional sand die casts and are supplied by ARP, a leading metal guttering manufacturer. These downpipes are made of cast iron, which has a longer life span compared to other materials due to its ability to resist rust.
The durability also makes it possible to use them for a long time without worrying about replacing them anytime soon.
Easy Installation
Britannia cast iron downpipes have been manufactured in standard sizes, making them easier to match and fit existing cast iron guttering systems.
This rainwater pipe system is a socketed system with a male and female end interlocked to form the joint. You need to use a low modulus sealant to create a waterproof seal between two surfaces.
You can download a detailed downpipe installation guide and technical information from our Technical Guides page.
Increased Flow Rate
Another great benefit of 63mm downpipes is that they provide an increased flow rate compared to smaller diameters. This means that more water can pass through your guttering at any given time, so less water will be collected in your gutters if there's heavy rainfall or a storm nearby. This is especially important if you live in an area with frequent storms during the winter months or on rainy days during the summer months when storms are more likely to occur!
Lower Maintenance Costs
With a larger pipe, you will have less of an issue with leaking, which means you'll be able to save money on repairs. The size of the pipe also allows you to use a more durable material, which means that it will last much longer than a smaller one. In addition, because there is less chance of leakage, there is less chance of damage to your home and garden.
A Huge Range of 63mm Downpipes
Our 63mm downpipes are available in various lengths and can be supplied with or without ears (collars) in a painted or transit-primed finish.
A semi-gloss black paint is available as standard, with other colour options available on request. Contact us to discuss the colour range available.
