Alumasc Apex Cast Iron Rectangular Small (250 x 180 x 180mm) Rainwater Hopper Head with 100 x 75mm (4"x3") Square Outlet - One of 6 CI Standard RAL Colours TBC

The Alumasc Apex Cast Iron Rectangular Small Rainwater Hopper Head is a compact traditional hopper designed for use with cast iron rainwater systems where a neat, understated collection point is needed at the top of a downpipe.

Measuring 250 x 180 x 180mm, this smaller rectangular hopper is well suited to period properties, restoration work and traditional buildings where the proportions of a larger hopper head may feel too heavy. It is supplied with a 100 x 75mm (4" x 3") rectangular outlet, allowing it to connect into a matching rectangular cast iron downpipe system.

Made as part of the Alumasc Apex cast iron rainwater range, the hopper retains the textured appearance associated with traditional sand-cast rainwater goods while providing the consistency expected from a modern manufactured system. Its simple rectangular shape also means it can sit comfortably on a wide range of elevations without competing with the architecture around it.

A Smaller Hopper for Traditional Rainwater Systems

Not every project needs a large or decorative hopper head. On smaller elevations, extensions, cottages or more restrained period buildings, a compact rectangular hopper can often look far more in keeping with the property.

This 250 x 180 x 180mm cast iron hopper provides a practical collection point for rainwater before it enters the vertical pipework below. It may be used beneath gutter outlets, roof drainage points or other areas where water needs to be gathered into a 100 x 75mm rectangular downpipe.

It can be particularly useful for:

• Period property renovation projects
• Traditional cast iron rainwater systems
• Replacement of existing rectangular hopper heads
• Smaller elevations where a large hopper would look oversized
• Heritage-style projects using rectangular cast iron downpipes
• Roof outlets and drainage points requiring a traditional cast iron finish

If you're replacing an existing hopper, we'd recommend checking both the overall dimensions and outlet size before ordering. Older cast iron systems can vary, so measuring the existing fitting is much safer than choosing purely from a photograph.

Available in 6 Standard Cast Iron RAL Colours

This Alumasc Apex rectangular hopper head is available in a choice of six standard CI RAL colours, helping you coordinate the hopper with the downpipes, guttering and other exterior details on the building.

The standard colour options are:

• RAL 9005m – Black
• RAL 7016m – Anthracite Grey
• RAL 3009m – Oxide Red
• RAL 9016m – White
• RAL 8015m – Chestnut Brown
• RAL 6005m – Moss Green

Black remains the classic choice for many traditional cast iron rainwater systems, while Anthracite Grey offers a slightly softer appearance. Moss Green, Chestnut Brown and Oxide Red can work particularly well where the rainwater goods are intended to complement stonework, brickwork or other heritage detailing.

Because the coloured versions are manufactured specifically for the order, make sure you are happy with the selected finish before purchasing.
