Cast iron rainwater Head H544. Created using bespoke cast iron hopper pattern H544.
Cast iron leader heads for period, listed and traditional buildings.
(Bespoke cast iron rainwater heads and ornamental hoppers manufactured to order)
The Wenlock No.544 is the smallest of the moulded heads, and the most quietly classical.
A crisp moulded cornice caps the casting. Below it the body swells outward and then draws back in through an ogee curve — the double reverse profile found throughout period architecture in mouldings, gutter sections and joinery — before meeting the outlet collar. A cast side boss takes the fixing. The whole casting is compact, with the interest concentrated in that single S-curve down the lower body.
Because the ogee is the same profile used in traditional gutter sections, the Wenlock sits naturally beneath an ogee gutter run. The curve of the hopper picks up the curve of the gutter above it, and the rainwater system reads as one designed assembly rather than a collection of parts from different sources. That coherence is often what distinguishes a well-detailed conservation scheme from an adequate one.
It suits domestic period work in the main: Georgian and Victorian houses, cottages and terraces, lodges, vicarages and small institutional buildings — anywhere the elevation calls for a properly modelled hopper but the scale rules out anything large or heavily ornamented.
Cast in solid iron to BS 460:2002 and supplied in primer or black as standard, with heritage colours and traditional linseed oil finishes available on request.
Pipe connections: 65mm, 75mm and 100mm round; 75×75mm, 100×100mm and 125×125mm square; 100×75mm, 125×100mm and 150×125mm rectangular.
Suitable for listed buildings and conservation areas. To match a hopper to an existing ogee gutter profile, call 0333 987 4452.

The Paxton H82 is a large-format hopper with decorative collar mouldings, making it particularly well suited to late Victorian and Edwardian buildings where the rainwater system forms part of the architectural composition. Typical applications include commercial heritage buildings, civic buildings, large detached houses, institutional premises, and warehouse conversions where a more substantial fitting is appropriate.

Yes. Cast iron rainwater goods are widely accepted by conservation officers and historic environment bodies as the appropriate material for listed buildings. Tuscan Foundry's hopper heads are manufactured in solid cast iron to BS 460 specification and are suitable for all listed building classes. A linseed oil paint finish is also available, which is particularly appropriate for conservation projects.
A hit and miss vent has a sliding plate on the reverse of the grille that can be moved to open or close the ventilation apertures. This allows airflow to be regulated without removing or replacing the grille. The vent can be fully open, partially open, or fully closed depending on ventilation requirements.
