The Beauford No.510 is the widest and lowest pattern in our ornamental range, and the one specifiers reach for when a hopper needs to sit quietly beneath a deep eaves course rather than announce itself.
The casting takes the form of a long rectangular box. A run of finely spaced dentils is cast along the full length of the top cornice — the detail that gives the pattern its classical character and ties it visually to the mouldings of a Georgian or Regency elevation. The front face is divided by a central vertical rib into two flat panels, keeping the surface calm beneath the enriched cornice. Substantial eared fixing lugs project at both ends, drilled and ready to receive the wall fixings, and the outlet drops centrally from the underside.
The proportions are what make it useful. Where a tall hopper would crowd a shallow reveal or interrupt a string course, the Beauford spreads the same collection capacity horizontally and stays below the sightline. It suits terraced Georgian townhouses, Regency villas, estate buildings and any elevation where the architect wants the rainwater system to read as part of the cornice rather than as an applied fitting.
Cast in solid iron to BS 460:2002 and supplied in primer or black as standard. Heritage colours and traditional linseed oil finishes are available on request — linseed being the preferred option on listed fabric for its breathability and long maintenance life.
Pipe connections: 65mm, 75mm and 100mm round; 75×75mm, 100×100mm and 125×125mm square; 100×75mm, 125×100mm and 150×125mm rectangular.
Suitable for listed buildings and conservation areas. Like-for-like replacement in the same material does not usually require Listed Building Consent, though we always recommend confirming with your conservation officer before works begin.

Yes. A polished brass finish is historically appropriate for period buildings and is generally acceptable to conservation officers for listed building projects. If you are unsure about the specification requirements for your project, we are happy to advise — call 0333 987 4452.
Yes. Bespoke copy casting is a core service at Tuscan Foundry Products. We can replicate any cast iron gutter, downpipe, hopper head, or fitting from drawings, detailed photographs, or a physical sample or surviving section. Each commission is assessed individually. Lead time is typically 12 to 14 weeks, and quantities as low as a single piece can be considered depending on pattern-making costs.
Yes, provided they are sized for the lower water temperature. Outputs are published at ΔT50; at ΔT30 a section gives about half that, so heat pump systems usually need more sections or a deeper pattern. We can prepare a radiator schedule at your heat pump design temperature.

Yes. Cast iron hopper heads are the historically appropriate choice for listed buildings, and are generally preferred by conservation officers and local planning authorities over modern plastic alternatives. Tuscan Foundry cast iron hopper heads are manufactured in solid grey iron and are suitable for use on listed buildings and within conservation areas. A linseed oil finish is also available, which is particularly appropriate for sensitive heritage projects.

Our cast iron airbricks are available in three standard sizes: 225mm × 75mm (single course), 225mm × 150mm (double course), and 225mm × 225mm (square format). These correspond to the standard airbrick positions used in Victorian and Edwardian brickwork. Each size is available across the School Board, Louvre, and Ornamental pattern ranges.
The H534 measures 430mm wide x 240mm deep x 366mm high, making it well suited to Victorian villas and townhouses.
The H529 measures 430mm wide x 290mm deep x 540mm high, making it well suited to multi-storey Georgian and Victorian townhouses with a longer fall to the outlet.
