No Dig Equipment supplies universal HDD transmitter housings designed for horizontal directional drilling applications. These heavy-duty Box/Box transmitter housings are compatible with Vermeer®, Ditch Witch® and other HDD drill rigs and are designed to accept standard 15″ DigiTrak® transmitters.
With a universal connection design and interchangeable connector subs, the housing can be adapted to different HDD drill rigs, drill bits and ground conditions. This provides contractors with a flexible transmitter housing solution without requiring a different housing for every drilling setup.
Our Universal Transmitter Housing is designed to integrate with a wide range of horizontal directional drilling setups.
The Box/Box design allows the housing to connect to different drill bits and subs, while the appropriate connector sub can be selected to suit the drill rig and tooling configuration.
This makes the housing particularly useful for HDD contractors who work across different machines, tooling configurations and ground conditions.
The universal transmitter housing is designed to suit:
The housing can be adapted using the appropriate connector sub, allowing contractors to use the same universal housing across different HDD setups.
The housing accepts standard 15″ DigiTrak® transmitters, providing a dedicated location for the transmitter used to track the drill head during HDD operations.
This allows the transmitter housing to form part of the downhole steering and locating system while the drill head advances through the bore.
HDD contractors may work with different drill rigs, drill bits and ground conditions from one project to another. A universal transmitter housing provides greater flexibility by allowing the housing to be adapted to different configurations using the appropriate connector sub.
This can be particularly useful for contractors who need to move between different HDD rigs or tooling setups.
Instead of maintaining a separate transmitter housing for every configuration, a universal housing can provide a more adaptable solution.
Universal transmitter housings can be used as part of HDD tooling setups for a range of horizontal directional drilling applications.
They are suitable for contractors working across varying ground conditions, including applications where the drill head configuration needs to change between softer ground and harder formations.
The housing can be paired with compatible drill bits or subs to create a drilling configuration suited to the particular HDD machine and ground conditions.
An HDD transmitter housing protects and holds the electronic transmitter used to provide drill head location and steering information during horizontal directional drilling.
The transmitter housing forms part of the drill head assembly and is positioned behind or alongside the drilling bit, depending on the tooling configuration.
During drilling, the transmitter sends information that can be detected by an HDD locating system. This allows the operator to monitor the drill head’s position, depth and direction as the pilot bore progresses.
The correct transmitter housing and connector configuration are important for maintaining compatibility between the transmitter, drill bit, drill string and HDD drill rig.
The correct transmitter housing depends on your:
Our universal housing is designed to provide flexibility across different HDD setups, but the correct connector sub and tooling configuration must be selected for the specific application.
If you are unsure which transmitter housing or connector sub you need, contact No Dig Equipment before ordering.
Provide your HDD drill rig model, transmitter model and existing tooling specifications where possible, and our team can help determine a suitable configuration.
An HDD transmitter housing is a downhole component designed to hold and protect the transmitter used by a horizontal directional drilling locating system. The transmitter provides information that helps operators monitor the drill head during the pilot bore.
Our universal transmitter housing is designed to suit Vermeer®, Ditch Witch® and other compatible HDD drill rigs. The appropriate connector sub is used to adapt the housing to the required drill rig and tooling configuration.
The universal transmitter housing accepts standard 15″ DigiTrak® transmitters.
Yes. The universal Box/Box design can connect to different drill bits or subs when the appropriate connection configuration is used.
A connector sub is an adaptor used to connect the transmitter housing to a particular HDD drill rig, drill bit or tooling configuration. Using the correct sub allows a universal transmitter housing to be adapted for different setups.
A universal transmitter housing provides flexibility for contractors who operate different HDD drill rigs or change tooling configurations between projects. The housing can be adapted using the appropriate connector sub rather than requiring a completely different housing for every setup.
The housing is designed for demanding HDD conditions and is manufactured from hardened materials to withstand impact and abrasion. The appropriate drill bit and tooling configuration should be selected based on the ground conditions being drilled.
We will make sure you get exactly what you need.
