VD10S x 225 DTH Hammer FAQs

Will the VD10S x 225 fit my drill string?

The VD10S x 225 uses a 6 5/8" API coupler thread, so it fits any string cut to that thread. Check the thread on the string already in use before ordering, because that is what decides it rather than the hammer size.

What hole will the VD10S x 225 drill?

The VD10S x 225 is 225 mm across, 1,220 mm long and 218 kg. It is a 10 inch hammer, so it is matched to a 10 inch hole and fitted with a bit of that size.

Which size of DTH hammer do I need?

This page is the VD10S x 225, the 10 inch hammer, 225 mm across and 218 kg. The size is the hole. Vikay manufactures 4 inch, 5 inch, 6 inch, 8 inch and 10 inch down the hammers, and the hammer is chosen to match the hole diameter being drilled, then fitted with a bit of that size. The larger hammers need proportionally more air, so the compressor on site is the practical limit on how big a hole can be drilled.
