Dual Wall Pipe: Quick Release Hex Joint Drill Pipe

Hex Pipe Offers Advantages

Holte’s Dual Wall Drill Pipe with Quick Release Hex Head was created by Holte Manufacturing as a solution to the problem of thread binding.  This is particularly a problem with large diameter systems using our traditional threaded joints due to the higher amount of torque applied to the drill string.  Holte Hex Joint Pipe eliminates this, while adding several other advantages over traditional threaded joints.

When disconnecting hex pipe, no counter rotation is needed as the joints simply plug together due to their unique design.  When connected the joints are held together by two machined pins that require no more than a standard wrench to remove.  This greatly reduces time spent assembling and disassembling drilling pipe. Another big advantage of hex connections is the ability to rotate the pipe in both directions.  When difficult conditions persist this is an option that will keep you drilling, while your competition is stuck in the hole.
