Horizontal Direction Drilling: More Affordable Drill Rod
Vermeer has added Silver Rod to its line of drill rods, designed for horizontal direction drilling. Intended as a more economical alternative to its Firestick line of drill rods, Silver Rod has the same threading and column-wall thickness as Firestick’s but at a lower price point. Made of S135 common-grade steel, the rod can be used in most of the same demanding HDD steering applications as Firestick. The drill rod is available in four sizes: 1.66 in., 1.9 in., 2.06 in. and 2.375 in. Silver Rod can be used on all Vermeer HDD drill rigs, from the D7x11 to the D24x40 S3 Navigator.
