FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Short Answer: FastReam Housings are compatible with FastReam tooling and locating transmitters designed for the specified housing size.
Correct use: A FastReam Housing is compatible with non-FastBack tooling such as blades, bits and adapters, but the housing must also be sized correctly for the locating transmitter being used and matched to the rig's torque and pullback capacity. It is only compatible with FastBack Cutter blocks for direct pullback features.
Technical details: Compatibility is determined by housing size, connection type, and transmitter fit. Cutter Blocks should be staged according to the desired final hole size and bit or blade diameter.
Incorrect use includes: Exceeding the housing's rated torque or load limits. Incorrect use can introduce greater risk of transmitter damage, poor signal performance, or connection wear.
