THREADED HDD CONNECTION ACCESSORY

HDD Pulling Eye

Built for controlled HDD pulling operations, the DRILLNOVA HDD Pulling Eye provides a compact, secure attachment point between a threaded drill-string connection and an approved shackle, cable, swivel or pulling assembly. Connection, eye geometry and load requirements are engineered to the application.

Product Overview & Application

Overview

The DRILLNOVA HDD Pulling Eye converts a compatible threaded tool connection into a practical eye attachment point. Its compact one-piece form supports aligned load transfer during approved pullback and handling operations. Thread form, eye size and body dimensions are selected for the drill string, mating hardware and project load.

DRILLNOVA HDD pulling eyes prepared for dimensional and visual inspection

Secure Pulling Attachment

An integral eye provides a direct connection point for compatible shackles, cables or pulling assemblies.

Compact Load Path

The one-piece body helps transfer aligned pulling force through a short, robust component.

Precision Thread Fit

Machined connections support correct engagement with compatible HDD drill-string and tooling threads.

Application-Matched Design

Thread, eye opening, body size and required load capacity can be specified for the project.

Body Construction

One-piece machined steel body; material grade and heat treatment are confirmed by order specification.

Eye Profile

Radiused eye geometry designed to accept the specified shackle, pin or approved pulling attachment.

Thread Connection

API REG, API IF and project-specific thread forms are available subject to drawing confirmation.

Surface Protection

| Protective black finish; alternative coatings or preservation requirements can be reviewed.

Identification

Model, connection and traceability marking can be applied where specified.

Custom Options

Eye opening, body diameter, overall length, wrench features and connection can be customized.

The pulling eye does not replace a swivel. Where rotational isolation is required, use a properly selected and rated swivel assembly. Final working load must be established from the approved drawing, material specification and applicable verification—not from product appearance or thread size alone.

Product FAQ

What is an HDD pulling eye used for?

It provides a threaded eye attachment point for connecting compatible HDD drill strings or downhole tools to an approved shackle, cable, swivel or pulling assembly.

How do I select the correct pulling eye?

Confirm the exact mating thread, attachment-hardware dimensions, expected load, load direction, available clearance and operating procedure. DRILLNOVA should review these details before confirming the drawing.

Which thread connections are available?

API REG, API IF and project-specific connections can be reviewed. The exact thread designation, pin or box orientation, reference standard and mating component must be stated with the enquiry.

Is a pulling eye the same as a swivel?

No. A pulling eye provides an attachment point but does not inherently isolate rotation. Use an engineered, correctly rated swivel where rotational isolation is required.

How is the allowable pulling load determined?

It depends on the material, heat treatment, geometry, thread, attachment method, load direction and verification requirements. Use only the value stated in the approved engineering or test documentation.

Can this product be used for overhead lifting?

Not unless the exact unit has been separately engineered, tested, marked and certified for that lifting application under the applicable regulations. A standard HDD pulling eye must not be assumed to be lifting equipment.

What should be inspected before use?

Check the eye for elongation or deformation, the body for cracks or corrosion, and the thread for wear, galling or damage. Remove any questionable component from service for qualified evaluation.

Can DRILLNOVA customize the design?

Yes. Connection, eye opening, overall length, body diameter, material, heat treatment, finish, marking and verification requirements can be reviewed for the application.

Confirm Your Pulling-Eye Connection

Share the mating thread, pulling hardware, required load, operating direction and available space. DRILLNOVA will review the configuration and confirm the required drawing and documentation.
