Cast iron ornamental hopper head OL504
Cast Iron Rainwater Systems Catalogue Code:
Cast iron rainwater Ornamental Hopper Head H543 and cast iron hopper pattern H543.
Cast iron leader heads for period, listed and traditional buildings.
(Bespoke cast iron rainwater heads and ornamental hoppers manufactured to order)
The Stanton No.543 is a shallow, wide box with no ornament at all — specified where the available depth is limited and the hopper must simply work.
The form is a plain rectangular trough with straight sides and a flat top edge, its outlet taken from the side rather than the base. That side discharge is the pattern’s real usefulness: where a plinth, a string course or a boundary prevents the downpipe dropping straight beneath the head, taking it off sideways at the hopper keeps the run clean and avoids a stack of offsets below.
Shallowness is the other characteristic. Where an eaves overhang, a band course or a low parapet leaves only a narrow vertical zone, a deep head cannot be fitted without cutting across a moulding. The Stanton spreads its capacity horizontally and stays within the band available.
It suits service and rear elevations, industrial and agricultural buildings, and any scheme where the rainwater goods should be competent and invisible rather than decorative.
