The Regent Cast Iron Hopper No.1(Corner) — code H1A — is a square-plan corner hopper designed to collect rainwater from two converging roof slopes. It is a traditional component found on Georgian, Regency, and early Victorian buildings wherever internal gutter valleys meet a downpipe outlet.
The H1A has a strongly tapering body that reduces from a wide square rim to a round downpipe outlet at its base. The projecting cornice rim sits proud of the body and carries small bracket lugs at each corner — the detail that gives the hopper its structural authority and visual weight. There is no applied surface ornament; the form is the architecture. The result is a component that reads as designed rather than functional.
Corner hoppers are required wherever two lengths of gutter running at right angles converge and need to drain through a single downpipe. The H1A suits period buildings of all scales — from small Georgian terrace houses to substantial country houses and civic buildings with hipped or valley roofs. It is equally appropriate for conservation-area new-build where traditional corner details are specified.
The H1A is cast in solid cast iron in the UK and is available in four round pipe connection sizes: 65mm, 75mm, 100mm, and 150mm. Standard finish is primed and painted black; linseed oil paint finishes are available on request and are particularly well suited to listed building and conservation work. Both socketed and spigot-end connection options are available — please confirm when ordering.
Pipe Connections (Round): 65mm / 75mm / 100mm / 150mm

Yes. Decorative cast iron and brass ventilation grilles of this pattern were widely used in Victorian and Edwardian buildings, and like-for-like replacements are generally accepted by conservation officers for listed building works. We can provide product specifications and material details to support listed building consent applications if required.

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.
Our cast iron airbricks are available in a choice of finishes including primer and painted options. If you require a specific finish for a conservation project or to match existing ironwork, please call us on 0333 987 4452 to discuss.
The School Board Airbrick suits Victorian and Edwardian institutional, civic, and residential buildings where the square-grid airbrick pattern was standard — including school buildings, civic halls, estate housing, terrace houses, and warehouses. It is also appropriate on listed buildings and conservation area properties as a like-for-like replacement for worn square-grid cast iron vents.
The School Board Airbrick is suited to Victorian and Edwardian terraced housing, mid-century school buildings, civic halls, public baths, and converted institutional buildings. Its plain square-grid face matches the utilitarian aesthetic of late-Victorian construction and is also appropriate for new heritage-style builds in conservation areas.
BTU stand’s for British Thermal Units. This was the old (Imperial) measurement for heat in connection with plumbing. Although BTU’s is a term still commonly used within the heating and plumbing, the industry is now going over to KW’s Kilowatts.
Yes. Cast iron rainwater goods are widely accepted by conservation officers and historic environment bodies as the appropriate material for listed buildings. Tuscan Foundry's hopper heads are manufactured in solid cast iron to BS 460 specification and are suitable for all listed building grades. A linseed oil paint finish is also available, which is particularly appropriate for conservation projects.
A hit and miss vent has a sliding plate on the reverse of the grille that can be moved to open or close the ventilation apertures. This allows airflow to be regulated without removing or replacing the grille. The vent can be fully open, partially open, or fully closed depending on ventilation requirements.
The Cast Iron Louvre Airbrick suits Victorian and Edwardian terraced housing, semi-detached properties, public houses, agricultural buildings, and workshop structures where the original airbrick was a louvre-face grille. The horizontal fin profile is widely found in British domestic and light industrial construction from the 1870s through to the 1950s.
