The Selmerstone No.91 combines a faceted body with a cast foliate motif on the face — decorated, but considerably more restrained than the fully modelled patterns in the range.
The body is canted, its corners cut back so light falls across several planes rather than one flat front, and it swells gently before drawing in to the outlet. A moulded band runs above and below. At the centre of the front face sits a stylised foliate device, cast in shallow relief and often picked out in a contrasting colour.
The faceted plan is not only decorative. It stiffens the casting against the thermal movement and knocks that rainwater goods take, and it reduces the flat internal corners where debris settles in a square hopper. On a head that will be cleared rarely, that is a genuine maintenance benefit.
It suits Victorian domestic and institutional buildings, Arts and Crafts work, vicarages and villas, and any elevation using chamfers, splays or canted bays where a square hopper would sit awkwardly.
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.

Yes. Cast iron hopper heads are the historically correct choice for listed and period buildings, and a like-for-like cast iron replacement is generally accepted without objection by conservation officers. We manufacture to BS 460 for genuine heritage character and durability.
Yes. All our mild steel brackets are supplied in either silver or black zinc plate. This coating protects the metal however, both will need painting prior to installation.
We have chosen to use zinc plating for two reasons; firstly that it is a more environmentally friendly than galvanising and secondly that it does not block up the threaded part of the rise and fall cups in the way that galvanising does.
Satin chrome has a brushed, low-sheen finish suited to contemporary interiors, while polished chrome has a bright mirror finish. Both are available in the telescopic hand winder range at Tuscan Foundry. The choice typically depends on the existing ironmongery specification.
