Stainless Steel Heelguard Trench Grate and Frame
The Stainless Steel Heelguard Trench Grate and Frame brings Class B channel drainage to driveways, pool surrounds, and pedestrian paths without the need for a pre-formed box drain. Available in 200mm wide profiles in 2-metre and 3-metre lengths, the frame is cast directly into the concrete and acts as permanent formwork. You control the channel depth on-site. The 316 marine grade stainless steel grate drops in on top, secured by one lockdown mechanism per linear metre.
Since 1957, Vincent Buda and Company has supplied quality drainage to builders, civil contractors, and tradespeople across Australia. This grate and frame is load-rated to Class B under AS 3996:2019, covering residential driveways, carparks, and light commercial access routes. Vincent Buda and Company stocks both lengths ready for despatch, with Same-day or next-day delivery within the Sydney Metro. Courier delivery available Australia-wide.
