Description
The Hargreaves Cast Iron Flat Back Hopper is a traditionally styled and highly durable rainwater component designed to collect and direct water from gutter outlets into the downpipe system. Combining classic looks with exceptional strength, this hopper provides both practical performance and timeless appeal — ideal for heritage properties, restoration projects, and high-quality new builds.
Manufactured in the UK by Hargreaves Foundry, each hopper is made from premium cast iron, offering outstanding durability, impact resistance, and long-term protection against corrosion and weathering. The flat back design allows it to sit neatly against the wall for a clean, professional finish, while the generous outlet ensures efficient water flow.
Available in two size options, this hopper is compatible with 65mm, 75mm, and 100mm round downpipes, and can be supplied in either a factory-applied black gloss finish or primed (ready for painting) to match your installation perfectly.
