The best brands of pipeline drills

At Onninen we focus on proven and reputable brands. Our offer includes products from manufacturers such as Bohamet - Armatura or Hawle.   These are leading suppliers of water fittings, valued for their reliability and innovation.   Their products meet the highest quality and safety standards. They guarantee trouble-free operation for many years.

We often come across the question about the criteria for selecting drills. Several factors are of key importance here. First, the material and diameter of the main pipe must be taken into account. The operating parameters of the installation, such as pressure or temperature of the medium, are also important. Ease of installation and maintenance is also important. At Onninen, we provide expert advice in this area.

Our experience shows that the proper selection of the drill bit is crucial for the durability and safety of the entire installation.   The wrong product can lead to leaks or failures. That is why it is so important to use high-quality solutions from renowned manufacturers. At Onninen, we only offer tested and certified products.

Many customers ask us about the practical applications of drills. They are widely used in the construction and modernization of water supply networks. They allow for the execution of new connections without the need to shut down the entire network. This is particularly important in the case of the expansion of existing installations. Drills are used in both small private systems and large municipal networks.

Recently, we used DN160 connection drills in a project for a large housing estate. This allowed for the efficient execution of several dozen new connections. The entire operation took place without disruptions in the water supply to existing customers. This is an excellent example of the effectiveness of these solutions.

In the case of modernization of older water supply networks, drilling enables quick and economical expansion of the system.   There is no need to replace the entire pipeline. It is enough to install drills in the right places. This significantly reduces costs and shortens the investment implementation time. This is especially valuable in the case of work in dense urban development.

How to choose the right drill bit for a pipeline?

Choosing the right drill requires taking into account several key parameters:

• Main pipe material (PVC, PE, steel, cast iron)
• Main pipe diameter
• Operating pressure in the installation
• Type and diameter of the planned connection
• Soil and climatic conditions

At Onninen, we offer expert advice in this area. Our specialists will help you choose the optimal solution for your specific needs. We take into account both technical and economic aspects. This means that our customers can be sure that they will receive a product that is perfectly tailored to their requirements.

Our practice shows that the most common mistake is to underestimate the working pressure in the installation.   This can lead to choosing a drill that is too weak. As a result, the risk of failures and leaks increases. Therefore, we always recommend a thorough analysis of the system's operating parameters before making a choice.

Another important aspect is durability and corrosion resistance. At Onninen, we offer drills made of high-quality materials. They guarantee long-term and failure-free operation. It is worth paying attention to products with anti-corrosion coatings. They are especially recommended for installations exposed to aggressive ground conditions.

In the case of water supply network reorganization, we most often encounter the need to quickly and effectively make new connections. Drills are perfect in such situations. They allow work to be carried out without the need to empty the entire system. This significantly shortens the implementation time and minimizes the inconvenience to recipients.

Onninen recommends using drill bits with a double sealing system.   They provide additional protection against leaks. This is especially important in the case of installations operating under high pressure. Such solutions guarantee peace and safety for many years of operation.

In our daily practice, we see a growing interest in drilling machines with the ability to work under pressure. They enable connections to be made without having to shut down the main pipeline. This is a huge saving in time and costs, especially in the case of large city networks. At Onninen, we offer a wide range of such solutions.

We often come across questions about the possibility of using drills in industrial installations. Our products also work perfectly in such applications. We offer models adapted to work with various media, not only with water. They are used in the chemical, food and pharmaceutical industries.

Our experience shows that the key to success is precise drilling installation.   Even the best product will not fulfill its function if it is installed incorrectly. That is why at Onninen we offer not only the drills themselves, but also the necessary installation accessories. We also provide training and technical support for installers.

At Onninen, we focus on comprehensive solutions. In addition to drilling, we offer a full range of water fittings. This allows our customers to complete all the necessary elements for the construction or modernization of the network. We ensure full compatibility and the highest quality of all components.

In summary, pipeline drilling is a key element of modern water installations. At Onninen, we offer a wide selection of top-quality products. We provide expert advice and technical support at every stage of implementation. We invite you to contact our specialists. We will help you choose the optimal solutions for your needs.
