Wooden Pipe Bobbin Spacer (30mm)

Tuscan Foundry Products

£2.63

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.

Where this comes from

The part other shops don't tell you. Three separate questions, kept separate on purpose, each with its source.

UK company
Registered at Companies House as TUSCAN FOUNDRY PRODUCTS LTD, number 04742286. Checked 2026-08-29.
Means the business is a British legal entity, not a British-sounding name owned elsewhere. It says nothing about where anything is made.
UK operations
Stated by the company: "We offer an extensive range of cast iron rainwater gutters and pipes from our foundry works in Mid Wales." Source.
Means people employed here, or premises they actually work from. We keep this separate from the company badge because a registered office can be an accountant's spare room, and a company can be registered in Britain while everything it does happens somewhere else. Where we have not looked, we say so rather than assuming.
British-owned
Not established. Many companies file a statement rather than naming a controlling shareholder.
Read from the register of people with significant control, following the chain of holding companies. It does not gate anything: a firm can be made here and owned elsewhere, and that is worth telling you rather than hiding.
Where it is made
The maker doesn't say, so neither do we.
This is about the individual product, not the company. A British firm can sell things made abroad, which is normal and not a criticism. We would rather tell you which is which than average them into a score.
