What an adapter does

An adapter (sub) has different threads at each end. It changes diameter or thread standard so tools of different specs can be joined, and can also be used to extend the string or convert the rig output thread.

All entries are Box to Pin (female to male): one female end, one male end. Sizes marked — have no wrench flats and require a special tool to make up and break out.

Matching advice

Adapter threads must match the pipe and the hammer at both ends. When changing diameter, confirm both thread standards and hand (rotation) first, then choose wall thickness by bore — a sudden change in internal diameter costs air and traps cuttings.

Need a special thread combination?

Both thread ends can be combined as needed (diameter change, thread change, extension). Send us the two thread standards and the length and we will quote.
