Deep Hole Wireline Drill Rod
Today’s exploration efforts often require the driller to go even deeper to uncover the reserves necessary to inspire a mine. Di-Corp offers a deep hole (“D”) wireline drill rod thread profile solution to meet such demands. The extremely strong “D” wireline drill rod has been designed to withstand the additional torsional and tensile loads put on the drill string at increased depths.
Each stage of the process, from material selection to manufacturing, packaging and handling, is controlled and supported by an experienced team of professionals. That way, you can be confident that every rod that leaves our factory will perform to your expectations.
- Drills deeper and lasts longer
- Great depth capacity
Di-Corp uses an environmentally friendly thread compound to reduce friction, allowing for the proper makeup of the joint with less torque and reduced galling.
- Every rod is factory coated with this compound on the box and pin ends
- The use of this compound is MANDATORY for the initial makeup of the joint

HIGH-QUALITY MATERIALS
- Heat-treated alloy steel is specified to the highest industry standards.
- Processed with an additional stress relief heat treatment to eliminate bent rods.
- Threads are case hardened through a process that is monitored continuously and adjusted to each batch of material to ensure consistency.
PRECISION-MACHINED THREADS
- Threads are precision machined in our state-of-the-art manufacturing facility by industry-experienced professionals.
- Unparalleled quality control in-house ensures consistent quality of finished product.
WARNING: All threads are precision machined. Mixing Di-Corp rods with other manufacturers’ rods, adaptors, or threaded accessories is not recommended. Failure to adhere to this recommendation may cause premature failure; an inspection may void the warranty.

*Depth capacity ratings are based on published industry values. Di-Corp uses comparable materials and manufacturing processes and is confident the same results will be achieved. It is important to note that the care and handling, in addition to drilling conditions, practices, and equipment, will play a significant role in the ultimate depth capacity and performance of any drill rod.
**Di-Corp is testing its rod offering at an independent facility and will publish values as they become available. Pullback is rated on a new, unused drill rod.
- Keeps the joint from slipping apart
- Less bulging and breaking
- Prevents fluid loss
- Complete line of accessory products are manufactured with the same precision
- Pin ends are stamped with a code for easy traceability
- “D” wireline drill rods feature two identification grooves behind the pin end, whereas “D” LITE* drill rods have only one groove
- End cap decals are used to identify the product once packaged for shipping
*“LITE” refers to Drillers Edge wireline drill rods that have been manufactured using variable wall material, while “D” refers to our deep hole wireline drill rods. Additional sales sheets are available for both versions of the drill rod; contact your sales representative for more information.
WARNING: All threads are precision machined. Mixing Di-Corp rods with other manufacturers’ rods, adaptors, or threaded accessories is not recommended. Failure to adhere to this recommendation may cause premature failure; an inspection may void the warranty.
- All rods are packaged and sold in bundles
- The entire length of the rod is coated with Krown rust protection oil
- Box and pin ends are protected with plastic end caps to ensure the anti-galling thread compound does not get contaminated or removed before the first use
- Hexagonal bundle end caps further protect the rod ends during shipping and make them easier to stack
