Conventional duckbill style housings
cut off center, substantially over
cutting the hole and leaving a large
cavity for free movement of the
housing. The StraightLine assembly
has two significant improvements
over conventional housings that help
it deliver more accurate results:
Cuts on the center line for
precise tracking
Over cuts the housing by only
3/8" per side, so the assembly
tracks true in the borehole.
The patented StraightLine® Fourth
Generation III® centerline cut
housing systems are now available
with integral (no adapters) pin or
box threads to fit most HDD rigs.
