Strayton Cast Iron Hopper Head No.42

£318.00 – £762.00Price range: £318.00 through £762.00 +VAT

Clear

The Strayton Cast Iron Hopper Head No.42 — code H42A — is a large-format rectangular rainwater hopper with a strong horizontal profile and a clean, functional character. It belongs to the tradition of Victorian and Edwardian commercial and civic hoppers: wide, plain-bodied, and built to handle significant volumes of water from large roof areas.

The H42A presents as a broad, shallow-fronted rectangular box with flat panel sides and a projecting top rim. There is no applied decoration; the proportions and the quality of the casting carry it. In four widths — 305mm (12″), 355mm (14″), 457mm (18″), and 610mm (24″) — all at a consistent 184mm depth and 150mm height, the range covers the span from a terrace house downpipe to the substantial drainage runs of warehouses, civic buildings, and large country houses. The outlet sits centrally at the base.

The H42A is suited to Victorian and Edwardian terraced streets, converted industrial buildings, commercial heritage properties, and any project requiring a wide-format hopper without decorative elaboration. It reads quietly against plain brickwork and dressed stone alike, and its four size options make it practical across a wide range of gutter configurations.

Cast in solid cast iron and available in standard black paint finish or factory-applied linseed oil paint for conservation work, the H42A offers a broad range of pipe connection options including round, square, and rectangular outlets. Both finish and connection size are selected at the time of order.

Pipe Connections — Round: 65mm / 75mm / 100mm
Pipe Connections — Square: 75×75mm / 100×100mm / 125×125mm
Pipe Connections — Rectangular: 100×75mm / 125×100mm / 150×100mm

Suitable for listed buildings and conservation area projects. For specification support or project enquiries, call 0333 987 4452 or visit tuscanfoundry.com.
