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 (RH025, XRH025), 75mm (RH03, XRH03), 100mm (RH04, XRH04)

Our cast iron hopper heads are available in a standard primed and black-painted finish, ready for on-site topcoats. Heritage colour finishes and factory-applied linseed oil paint are available on request. Linseed oil paint is a vapour-permeable, period-appropriate finish particularly well suited to listed buildings and conservation area properties.
The Ornamental Airbrick is most appropriate on Victorian Gothic buildings — churches, chapels, vicarages, almshouses, collegiate buildings, and high-specification estate architecture — where decorative ironwork was part of the original design. It suits listed building replacements in kind and heritage new build where period accuracy in detailing is expected.
The polished chrome telescopic rooflight hand winder is suited to contemporary, Georgian-revival, and high-specification interiors where a bright chrome finish is required to complement existing ironmongery. It is compatible with Lumen Rooflights and timber-framed skylights.
All of our cast iron radiators are availbale as standard with a 1/2″ BSP (15mm) connection. We are though also able to supply many of our radiators and valves with 3/4″ BSP connections. Due to the size proportions of some radiators and valves 3/4″ connections may be more suitable.
Yes. Polished brass is a historically appropriate finish for period and listed buildings and is generally acceptable to conservation officers. If your project requires specific confirmation, we are happy to advise — call 0333 987 4452.

Yes. Cast iron airbricks are the appropriate material for listed buildings and conservation area properties where the original ventilation grilles were cast iron. They maintain the character and material authenticity required by most conservation officers and listed building consent conditions. We recommend confirming the specific pattern with your conservation officer before ordering.
The Calnethorpe is designed for formal classical and Georgian elevations where scale and material authenticity matter — large townhouses, country houses, manor houses, and institutional buildings. It is also widely specified for new-build heritage projects where cast iron rainwater goods are required to conservation standard.
The standards for our cast iron gutters and pipes have remained remarkably constant for many years. The physical properties of cast iron are sustained throughout its lifetime thus maintaining its effectiveness. Coupled with is durability and proper maintenance, we would expect our traditional cast iron rainwater products to last for over 50 years under normal conditions.
Satin chrome has a brushed, low-sheen finish suited to contemporary interiors, while polished chrome has a bright mirror finish. Both are available in the telescopic hand winder range at Tuscan Foundry. The choice typically depends on the existing ironmongery specification.
