The Shotton No.514 is the plainest of the square-bodied heads in the range, and the most architecturally versatile because of it.
A heavy stepped cornice projects boldly at the top of the casting, throwing a strong horizontal shadow across the face. Below it the body tapers on all four sides in a single clean sweep, entirely undecorated, before stepping back in to a short collar at the round outlet. There is no panelling, no boss and no applied ornament — the whole effect rests on the weight of the cornice against the plain field beneath.
That plainness is why it specifies well. On a classical elevation the cornice picks up the building\u2019s own mouldings without competing with them. On a civic or institutional building it reads as appropriately sober. On a country house service range or a stable block it is correct without being showy. And where a scheme requires a run of several hoppers along one elevation, the Shotton repeats without becoming busy.
The generous taper also gives the casting useful capacity for its footprint — it collects well from a substantial roof area while keeping a relatively tight projection from the wall face, which matters where a pavement or a narrow passage runs beneath.

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.
