Description

Protec manufactures the Vitoria hopper head (conductor head, rainwater head) – a decorative drainage component with an ornate form inspired by Victorian and Edwardian architectural traditions. Available in dimensions 260 x 315 mm with round downspout outlets in DN 80 and DN 100 mm, and in a full range of materials including copper, titanium-zinc, zinc alloys, hot-dip galvanized steel, and powder coating in any RAL colour on custom order.

Victorian Design Heritage – for Listed and Heritage Buildings:
The Vitoria conductor head takes its name and ornate form from the Victorian architectural tradition – the most distinctive period of European decorative metalwork in roof drainage systems. Its sculpted profile is the authentic choice for listed Victorian and Edwardian townhouses, period terraces, churches, civic buildings in conservation areas, and any restoration or new-build project where the architectural drainage detail must reflect period character. In copper, the Vitoria develops a green patina over time that further enhances its historical authenticity.
