These are essentially two besides, for open channel application, mostly in grey cast iron, the main difference being in the frame.

The Spigot back- The spigot is placed inside the aperture in the wall, the rear face of frame flush with it and held thereon by anchor bolts

The flange back with wall thimble- Here an 'F' shaped wall thimble is positioned inside the wall aperture, the puddle collar in the thimble grouted in concrete with only the rear unmachined face of flange flush with the wall. The complete gate assembly with the flange back frame, is then fastened on to the wall thimble by stud bolts.
