Charton Cast Iron Hopper Head No.58

The Charton No.58 is a wide, shallow head with a sloping front and an integral back plate, drawn for positions where depth is limited and the fixing needs to be simple.

The front face slopes back from the open rim to a narrow base, the sides remain flat and plain, and the back plate is cast as part of the head so it beds directly against the wall. There is no cornice and no ornament. Everything about the casting is arranged to keep projection minimal while retaining useful capacity.

It earns its place in awkward positions: under a shallow eaves overhang, beneath a string course, on a rear elevation where a passage or a boundary wall runs close beneath, or on rubble masonry where a bracketed head would need packing to sit true.

It suits period domestic and estate buildings, agricultural and service ranges, and conservation schemes where the rainwater goods should be unobtrusive.

Cast in solid iron to BS 460:2002, 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.
