The ornamental H518 cast iron rainwater hopper is very similar in appearance to our H529 head although it is slightly larger and includes the rose style embellishments on its angular face. Due to the tapered tail section, this head is ideally suited to accept smaller square or round cast iron rainwater pipes.
The H518 ornamental hopper is an almost star-shaped design with angular peaks projecting forward from a flat back. This unusual-shaped head highlights the design possibilities offered by cast iron and is quite unlike anything offered in plastic or aluminium. Located towards the rear of the hopper, the neck drops down to pick up a smaller square or round cast iron pipe.
This rather unique design of cast iron hopper head is sized at:
455mm wide
260mm deep
530mm high
Some of our cast iron products such as the ornamental rainwater hopper heads and the rectangular and square rainwater pipes are made to order. They are available within the Metal & Glass cast iron range but need to be cast or fabricated with timescales being slightly longer than our off-the-shelf stock products. They can be ordered securely via our website in exactly the same way as ex-stock products. These cast iron made-to-order items are available in both the grey primer and gloss black painted finish.
In addition to our wide selection of hopper heads, we can also match existing or produce bespoke sizes and designs to your requirements.
What separates Metal & Glass Limited from a number of other cast iron rainwater and soil suppliers is our ability to offer bespoke castings. Using skilled pattern makers and moulders, specialist fabricators and painters and over a century of iron casting experience Metal & Glass Limited can provide bespoke cast iron solutions for your project
We can make bespoke castings to suit any building, ancient or modern, but these skills are most in demand by the conservation, heritage and restoration market. There is no need to resort to the various forms of plastic substitutes on offer. Anything that has been cast in the past, for instance during the Victorian era, we can cast. If they could make it back then, we can make it now.
Traditional Cast Iron Foundry Products, Cast Iron Accessories and UK Castings are all from one supplier.
