VK 222S CHIT Clay Digger FAQs

Can the VK 222S CHIT replace a CP 222S?

Yes, that is the duty it is made for: the VK 222S CHIT is technically equivalent to the Chicago Pneumatic CP 222S. A 40 mm piston on a 88 mm stroke gives 1,500 blows a minute at 12 kg on 19 l/s of air at 6.2 bar. It takes the same 22 x 82.5 mm shank, so clay spades, moil points and chisels already on site will fit.

Will Vikay parts fit my CP 222S?

Yes. Vikay manufactures the VK 222S CHIT, which is technically equivalent to the Chicago Pneumatic CP 222S, and the replacement parts alongside it. The same parts serve both, so the OEM machine can be kept in service on Vikay parts. The listing, with part numbers and the assemblies they belong to, is on the CP 222CHIT Chicago Pneumatic Clay Digger Parts page.

Which Vikay clay digger do I need?

This page is the VK 222S CHIT at 12 kg, the heaviest in the range. Two sizes are manufactured, at 10 kg and 11 kg, each in a plain and a silenced version. Both take clay spades and moil points for trenching, laterite and frozen ground, so the choice comes down to how much weight the operator can work with all shift and whether the site has a noise limit. Check the shank against the spades already held before ordering.

Will my compressor run the VK 222S CHIT?

The VK 222S CHIT needs 19 l/s at 6.2 bar (40 cfm at 90 psi), delivered continuously. The inlet is 19 mm, so run at least that hose bore: anything narrower throttles the machine before the compressor does. At 1,500 blows a minute the draw is constant rather than intermittent, so allow headroom for hose length and for worn couplings.

Will my existing clay spades, moil points and chisels fit the VK 222S CHIT?

The VK 222S CHIT takes a 22 x 82.5 mm shank (7/8" x 3 1/4"), so any clay spade cut to that shank fits, whatever machine it came off. Measure the shank on your existing tools rather than going by the model number.
