FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Short Answer: Service Shot tooling is best suited for short utility service installations on rigs rated up to 10,000 lb pullback.
Correct use: Service Shot tooling is commonly used for compact utility installs such as fiber drops, gas services, water services, and similar small-diameter applications where bore length is short and control is critical.
Technical details: This tooling is designed for speed and accuracy on short entry-to-exit shots. Cutter layout and body design support efficient performance on small utility jobs, typically under 150 feet per shot, where torque demands remain limited.
Incorrect use includes: Using Service Shot tooling for large-diameter installations over 12 inches, long-distance bores exceeding 150 feet, or applications requiring sustained high torque. Incorrect use can introduce greater risk of reduced efficiency, accelerated wear, and tool damage.
Short Answer: A Service Shot Housing is used to hold the locating transmitter during short service line utility bores.
Correct use: The Service Shot Housing is installed at the front of the drill string during pilot bore drilling for compact utility installations. It supports accurate steering and tracking on short, controlled bores. It also receives a reamer, swivel, or pulling eye adapter for direct pullback.
Technical details: The housing is designed as part of the Service Shot System, prioritizing maneuverability and control over long-distance durability. It protects the transmitter while maintaining consistent signal performance during short entry-to-exit shots.
Incorrect use includes: Using the Service Shot Housing for long bores, high-torque drilling, or applications outside of short utility installations. Incorrect use can introduce greater risk of steering difficulty, transmitter stress, or premature wear.
Short Answer: Service Shot Housings are compatible with Service Shot tooling and transmitters designed for the housing size.
Correct use: A Service Shot Housing should be paired only with a Service Shot pilot bit, reamer, or pulling eye that share the same connection. The housing must also match the locating transmitter size intended for the job.
Technical details: Compatibility is determined by the non-threaded Service Shot connection and transmitter fit rather than standard threaded HDD connections.
Incorrect use includes: Mixing Service Shot components with non-Service Shot tooling or using worn coiled pins. Incorrect use can introduce greater risk of safety compromises, poor locating performance, or connection failures.
Short Answer: Service Shot Housings are best suited for soft to mixed ground on short service line utility bores.
Correct use: The Service Shot Housing is used in dirt, clay, and mixed urban soils commonly encountered in short service installations. It is designed for controlled pilot drilling rather than abrasive or extended ground conditions.
Technical details: Ground performance is influenced by the pilot bit and cutting tool attached to the housing. The Service Shot System emphasizes control and accuracy for short distances under 150 feet, making it well suited for compact utility work.
Incorrect use includes: Running the Service Shot Housing in solid rock, highly abrasive ground, or long bores. Incorrect use can introduce greater risk of injury, reduced steering control, accelerated wear, or tool damage.
