The Mini-Heelguard™ 340mm Square Sump Grate is a compact, lockable floor waste built for pedestrian areas where drainage and safety both matter. Manufactured from hot-dip galvanised steel, it delivers a corrosion-resistant finish at a practical price point. The heelguard pattern keeps bar spacing tight enough to stop high heels, crutch tips, and bicycle tyres from dropping through - the right choice for any pedestrian drainage installation. Since 1957, Vincent Buda and Company has supplied reliable drainage solutions to Australian builders, and the Mini-Heelguard™ is a staple of that range.
At 340mm x 340mm x 60mm with a 90mm outlet, this grate is load-tested to Class A under AS 3996:2019, with a wheel load rating of 630kg. It comes complete with an Allen key and lifting tool for easy access and maintenance. Vincent Buda and Company stocks this grate for same-day or next-day delivery within the Sydney Metro. Courier delivery available Australia-wide.
