Hex collars are hexagonal-shaped metal components used in various drilling applications. These collars are designed to secure starter rods to the drilling head without the need to apply torque to create a strong connection. The hexagonal shape provides superior grip and ease of installation.
Hex collars are installed by sliding them onto the corresponding hex shaped adapter on the drilling head and hex end of a starter rod. They are secured by a bolt or bolts.
The right hex collar depends on the size of your equipment, the material of the components being connected, and the specific conditions of your drilling operation. Consult with a supplier or manufacturer to ensure compatibility with your equipment.
