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)

This opener is particularly well suited to period and heritage properties — Georgian and Victorian terraces, conservation area houses, traditional orangeries, and listed buildings where a brass finish is required to complement existing ironmongery. It is compatible with Lumen Rooflights and most timber-framed skylights.
The Gothic foliate tracery design of the Ornamental Airbrick provides a good free-flow ventilation area relative to its face size. The open area is comparable to other standard cast iron airbrick patterns. The visual density of the pattern at a distance reads as solid ironwork, which suits formal and decorative elevations without compromising subfloor ventilation effectiveness.

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.
With National Maintenance week fast approaching (18th – 25th November 2011), Tuscan Foundry Products Ltd have decided to help period property owners look after rainwater systems by offering big discounts on selected cast iron gutters, pipes and fittings.
Friday 25th November is designated as National Gutters Day and on this particular day, homeowners are encouraged to check their systems for evidence of damage. Repairing sections of damaged cast iron gutter and pipe can help avoid potentially thousands of pounds of damage to brickwork.
Tuscan is offering these savings across a range of profiles and includes both primer and painted stock. The offers will only be available whilst stocks last so visit our website to view our discounted cast iron rainwater goods today.
