What building types is the Buckleigh Cast Iron Hopper No.2 suited to?
The Buckleigh H2 is well suited to Victorian terraces, farmhouses, rural estate buildings, and the secondary or rear elevations of larger period properties. Its compact proportions — 325mm wide and 290mm high — make it an appropriate choice where a smaller ornamental hopper is required without sacrificing heritage character. It is also commonly specified for listed building replacement work where the original hopper was of modest scale.
Is a cast iron hopper head suitable for use on a listed building?
Yes. Cast iron is the material generally required by conservation officers and listed building consents for the replacement or replication of traditional rainwater goods. Tuscan Foundry hopper heads are manufactured in solid cast iron and are appropriate for all listed building grades. A linseed oil paint finish is also available, which is particularly appropriate for sensitive heritage projects.
What pipe connection sizes does the Buckleigh H2 hopper accept?
The Buckleigh H2 accepts round pipe connections in 65mm, 75mm, and 100mm; square connections in 75x75mm, 100x100mm, and 125x125mm; and rectangular connections in 100x75mm, 125x100mm, and 150x100mm.
What finishes are available on cast iron hopper heads?
Tuscan Foundry hopper heads are available in a standard primer finish or factory-applied black. Heritage colour finishes and 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.
