Volko Supply has been
selling these hand made copper leader heads from our
Garden City Park
location for over 60 years! Made from 16 oz copper, our standard
copper leaderheads are manufactured from one piece of copper with a
double-lock Pittsburgh seam in the back. They have stood the test of time and the elements.
These products are made with pride in the United States....they are actually
fabricated right here in New York! |
| Leaderheads can be used for both
residential and commercial applications. Sometimes they are called
scupper heads or leader boxes For homes they are either used for decorative
purposes, or as a collector head to bring multiple leaders or gutters into
one leader.
On commercial buildings they are used to
collect water from
scuppers or roof drains, and funnel that water into a
leader. Our standard/commercial leaderhead can also be used on homes
desiring a more modern/streamlined look.
|
Leaderheads come in two stock sizes - 3 inch and 4 inch
The size is determined by the leader size
We can also make any custom size you
require!

We Can make any size and style
copper leader head you can think of or sketch! This picture shows a large
custom leaderhead, our
stock 4" and 3" fancy leaderhead, as well as a "fluted"

In September of 2014 we got a
phone call from a builder in Portland Oregon looking for some very specific
fancy copper leaderheads. For this project he needed some shaped as
outside mitres to wrap around corners of the house, he needed some
leaderheads with flat sides to tuck up against sidewalls of the house, and
he needed some leaderheads with a taller back flange.
No problem for the fabrication team. In 7
days these custom fancy copper leaderheads were packaged and shipped to the
west coast.

| These 10 custom copper leader heads were fabricated for a
restoration in Chicago. The customer sent us a sample, and we turned
the order around in about 10 business days. |
Another customer wanted to have closed tops on the leader
heads, and a removable sleeve as a transition and for cleaning. With
an accurate sketch we were able to fabricate these no problem. |
Detail of the closed top copper leader head. We removed the
sleeve for this picture. You can see the seams are all soldered. |

To get water from a flat roof
to a copper leaderhead you will need some form of drain. Going through
a parapet wall your best bets are a
flanged scupper or a
thru-wall leaderbox |
 |
| Also made here in New York, our
copper scuppers are built to stand the tests of time and the elements.
Perfect as an overflow drain or an easy to install primary roof drain. |
|
If you want to divert water directly to a leader, or prevent
a rush of water from leaving your roof, our
copper
leaderbox is just the ticket. |
