Pultney Tapered Cast Iron Hopper Head

The Pultney Tapered Cast Iron Hopper Head is a traditional flat-backed hopper head with a clean, utilitarian character — well suited to vernacular and Georgian-influenced architecture. Its chamfered, faceted body tapers cleanly from a wide rectangular opening to a circular downpipe outlet, without surface decoration or ornament. The result is a hopper that reads as architecturally resolved rather than plain: the angled facets catch the light and give the casting visual depth, while the flat back sits flush against a wall or fascia.

Available in three pipe connection sizes — 65mm, 75mm, and 100mm — with dimensions scaling accordingly. The 65mm and 75mm versions measure 210mm wide × 163mm deep × 195mm high; the 100mm version measures 253mm wide × 210mm deep × 210mm high. All sizes include integral fixing holes. The hopper is available in Standard Black or Heritage Colour finishes, and connects to matching cast iron downpipes via spigot and socket.

The Pultney suits a broad range of building types: Georgian and Regency townhouses, Victorian terraces, rural farmhouses, barns, and functional estate buildings where an unfussy traditional hopper is the appropriate solution. It is equally at home on new heritage-style construction and on restoration projects where a period-correct replacement is required.

Cast in solid grey iron in the UK, the Pultney Tapered Hopper Head is appropriate for use on listed buildings and within conservation areas. It is available alongside matching downpipes, offset bends, and fittings to complete a fully coordinated rainwater system.

Round pipe connections: 65mm, 75mm or 100mm.
