Vermeer Drill Rods for D16x20 / D16x22 – FS1 #250 Thread

Drill Rods for Vermeer D16x20 / D16x22 We offer new HDD drill rods compatible with Vermeer D16x20 and D16x22 drilling rigs, equipped with the Firestick 1 #250 thread system. These drill rods are designed for professional Horizontal Directional Drilling works where reliable torque transfer, pulling force resistance and stable drilling fluid flow are essential. They are suitable for utility installation, water and sewage networks, gas pipelines, power cable projects, fibre optic works and other trenchless construction applications. The rods are manufactured from certified heat-treated alloy steel, grade S135. This steel grade provides high tensile strength, torsion resistance and fatigue resistance, which are important when working in compact and demanding ground conditions. The drill rods are manufactured using hot-forging technology. This construction provides high durability, reduces the risk of failure in the tool joint area and supports stable drilling fluid transmission during operation. Precision-machined Firestick 1 #250 threaded connections ensure reliable make-up, tight connection and proper drilling fluid flow. The rods are compatible with Vermeer D16x20 and D16x22 drilling systems.
