The Paxton Cast Iron Hopper Head No.82 — code H82 — is a large-format rectangular hopper with a pronounced decorative collar detail at both the top and base of its body. It is a substantial piece: 445mm wide, 180mm deep, and 370mm high, with a visual presence that suits the grander scale of late Victorian and Edwardian architecture.
The H82 is distinguished by its collar mouldings — a projecting decorative band applied at the upper rim and repeated at the lower body just above the outlet. These collars give the hopper a more architectural quality than plain-section types, aligning it with the detailing vocabulary of civic buildings, commercial premises, and larger country houses of the period. The flat-fronted rectangular body between the collars reads cleanly and without fussiness. The outlet is centred and accepts a wide range of pipe connection sizes and profiles.
This hopper is designed for applications where the building demands more than a utility-grade fitting. It suits Victorian warehouse conversions, period commercial buildings, large detached houses, and institutional buildings where the rainwater system is part of the architectural composition. Bespoke adaptations — including double pipe connection, rectangular outlet, and square outlet formats — are available on request.
The H82 is cast in solid cast iron and available in a range of round, square, and rectangular connection sizes. It is supplied in standard primed black finish, with linseed oil paint and heritage colour finishes available for conservation and listed building work.

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 grades. A linseed oil paint finish is also available, which is particularly appropriate for conservation projects.
The H1A is available with round pipe connections in 65mm, 75mm, 100mm, and 150mm diameters. Please specify your required connection size when ordering, as this determines the SKU. If you are unsure of the correct pipe size for your project, our team can advise — call 0333 987 4452.
We manufacture a wide variety of brackets for many different cast iron gutter and pipe profiles. More common types are the rise and fall, top fix and side fix rafter and the holderbat or pipe clip.
We can also offer traditional drive brackets, repair brackets and fascia brackets in both steel and cast iron.
It is always advisable to replace like with like because quite often the brackets form and important part of the buildings architecture. Occasionally buildings have special decorative brackets and our UK manufacturing allows us to produce small quantities of bespoke brackets when required.

The Cast Iron Louvre Airbrick suits Victorian and Edwardian terraced housing, semi-detached properties, public houses, agricultural buildings, and workshop structures where the original airbrick was a louvre-face grille. The horizontal fin profile is widely found in British domestic and light industrial construction from the 1870s through to the 1950s.
The Antique Black cast iron version is suitable for external use. The Polished Lacquered version is best suited to interiors or sheltered external locations where the polished finish will be protected from weathering. The Polished Brass version is suited to interior and semi-exposed locations. For external applications on exposed elevations, the Antique Black finish is the recommended specification.
Our cast iron airbricks are available in three standard sizes: 225mm × 75mm (single course), 225mm × 150mm (double course), and 225mm × 225mm (square format). These correspond to the standard airbrick positions used in Victorian and Edwardian brickwork. Each size is available across the School Board, Louvre, and Ornamental pattern ranges.
Our brackets are more commonly used on cast iron rainwater systems. Unlike plastic, cast iron is heavy and the weight keeps the gutter in position. As such our brackets do not normally have retaining clips which could lead to plastic or lightweight gutters blowing out of the bracket. The profile of your gutter should match that of our bracket but without the weight to keep it in place you may well encounter problems in bad weather.
