Cast iron rainwater ornamental head H1 and cast iron hopper head H1. Castings for period, listed and traditional buildings.
(Bespoke cast iron hopper heads maufactured to order)
The Regent Cast Iron Hopper Head No.1 is one of the most recognisable forms in the traditional rainwater catalogue — a wide-shouldered, multi-faceted body that narrows dramatically to a slender outlet, with the kind of confident silhouette you see on Victorian terraces, civic buildings, and well-detailed country houses across the UK.
The H1 is cast with a flat back for wall mounting, with integral fixing holes, and offered in three pipe sizes: 65mm (2.5″), 75mm (3″), and 100mm (4″). At its largest — for 100mm pipe — the unit measures 355mm wide by 230mm deep and 240mm high, making it a substantial and visually authoritative component on larger drainage runs. The smaller 65mm and 75mm variants share the same 305mm width and 197mm depth, appropriate for secondary stacks, outbuildings, and properties where the downpipe run is lighter.
The multi-faceted tapering body is the defining characteristic of this hopper: it gives the H1 depth and shadow without relying on applied ornament. On Victorian townhouses, listed commercial properties, and Gothic-influenced ecclesiastical buildings, this form reads as period-accurate and architecturally coherent.
Manufactured to order in solid cast iron in the UK. Available in Standard Black and Heritage Colour finishes, with a linseed oil paint option for conservation and listed building projects.
Pipe connections: Round 65mm, 75mm, 100mm, 150mm.

The Polished Lacquered finish suits buildings where period ironwork was finished bright rather than painted — formal entrance elevations, listed properties, and settings where the grille contributes to the decorative programme of the facade. It is appropriate for conservation specifications and high-specification heritage new build.
The Cast Iron Louvre Airbrick suits Victorian, Edwardian, and inter-war residential and commercial properties where the louvre-pattern vent was the standard specification. It is the correct like-for-like replacement on listed buildings and conservation area properties, and suits new heritage-style construction requiring an authentic period ventilation grille.

Cast iron radiators cost no more to run than modern steel or aluminium radiators. Cast iron is a very efficient material at emitting heat, thus you have items like le creuset cast iron pans. Cast iron holds it’s heat extremly well, which means that the radiators stay warm for longer.
A pole winder opener has a fixed-length arm, making it suited to standard rooflight positions with a consistent throw. A telescopic opener has an adjustable shaft, allowing it to accommodate varying rooflight positions and throw requirements. For guidance on which suits your project, call 0333 987 4452.

Tuscan Foundry's cast iron hopper heads are available in Standard Black and Heritage Colour finishes. A linseed oil paint finish is also offered — a sustainable, vapour-permeable option particularly appropriate for listed buildings and conservation projects. Heritage colour swatches are available from the team on request.
The Strayton H42A accepts round, square, and rectangular pipe connections. Round: 65mm, 75mm, and 100mm. Square: 75×75mm, 100×100mm, and 125×125mm. Rectangular: 100×75mm, 125×100mm, and 150×100mm. Please specify your required connection size when ordering.
The Antique Black finish is cast iron with a blackened surface — the most historically accurate finish for cast iron ironwork and the most appropriate for the majority of heritage applications. Polished Lacquered is cast iron with a bright polished surface sealed with clear lacquer, suited to interiors and sheltered locations where polished ironwork is the specification. Polished Brass is solid polished brass throughout — the correct choice where existing building fittings are in brass or where a warm metal tone is required.
The H1A is available with round pipe connections in 65mm, 75mm, 100mm, and 150mm diameters. Please specify your required connection size when ordering, as this determines the SKU. If you are unsure of the correct pipe size for your project, our team can advise — call 0333 987 4452.
