For small pipe penetrations in concrete (5/16–1-3/8 in. / 8–35 mm), the Hilti SPX-T diamond core bit with the DD 30-W core drill provides precise drilling for pipe sleeves, conduit, and other small-diameter penetrations.
Why it's recommended
Precise sizing supports pipe sleeves and conduit.
Wet coring helps reduce silica dust.
Handheld or stand use improves control.
For plumbing chases in reinforced concrete columns, the Hilti SPX-L X-Change diamond core bit with the DD 150-U or DD 160 core drill is designed for repeated professional coring where clean holes, consistent diameters, and productivity are important.
Why it's recommended
X-Change segments help reduce replacement time.
Wet/dry capability adapts to jobsite conditions.
Auto-feed compatibility helps reduce operator fatigue.
For 6-inch plumbing penetrations in commercial slabs, the Hilti SPX-L diamond core bit with the DD 150-U or DD 160 core drill is designed for high-volume slab coring where accuracy, speed, and rough-in productivity are important.
Why it's recommended
6-inch size fits many plumbing sleeves.
X-Change design helps reduce downtime.
Water management improves slurry control.
For residential remodel coring, the Hilti SPX-L hand-held diamond core bit with the DD 110-W core drill is designed for flexible drilling across concrete, masonry, brick, and CMU. It provides one adaptable setup for small slab and wall penetrations.
Why it's recommended
Handheld design supports tight remodel spaces.
Wet/dry capability adapts to materials.
Modular options help manage consumable costs.
For CMU walls in mechanical rooms, the Hilti SPX-L X-Change masonry module with the DD 110-W or DD 150-U core drill is designed for masonry coring where access and dust control are important.
Why it's recommended
Masonry segments help cut CMU efficiently.
Handheld or rig setups improve placement accuracy.
Vacuum extraction helps control dust.
If you're already using a Hilti VC vacuum with your saw, the Hilti DD 110-W core drill paired with Hilti SPX-L masonry core bits is designed for dry coring with a shared dust extraction setup. This configuration lets you use the same vacuum system while supporting handheld core drilling for holes from 5/8 in. to 6-3/8 in. (16–162 mm) in masonry and concrete.
Why it's recommended
Shared vacuum simplifies setup across tools.
BI+ chuck helps speed up bit changes.
Wet/dry capability provides application flexibility.
For wet drilling in elevator pit installations, the Hilti DD 150-U core drill, paired with the DD-ST 150-U drill stand and the DD-WMS 100 water management system is a strong choice. It handles rig-based concrete coring from 5/16" to 6-3/8" while keeping slurry under control in confined pit areas. This rig-mounted setup is designed for accurate concrete coring in confined spaces while helping manage water and slurry during drilling.
Why it's recommended
Stand improves vertical accuracy.
Water management captures slurry.
Three-speed gearing optimizes drilling.
For fire sprinkler crews coring concrete decks, the Hilti DD 150-U core drill paired with SPX-L diamond core bits and the DD-WMS 100 water management system is a strong choice. This wet drilling system supports repeatable deck penetrations for pipe sleeves while helping reduce cleanup and improve productivity between holes.
Why it's recommended
SPX-L cuts reinforced concrete.
WMS recycles water and captures slurry.
Rig setup improves hole placement.
For same-day coring in green concrete, a wet Hilti DD 150-U or DD 160 core drill setup with SPX-A Speed or SPX-L bits matched to concrete conditions is the best choice. Keep the water flow consistent so segments stay open rather than glazing.
Why it's recommended
Wet drilling cools diamonds.
Speed bits maintain productivity.
Stand control limits bit wobble.
For reinforced slabs with rebar, the Hilti SPX-L X-Change diamond core bits on the DD 150-U or DD 160 core drill platform are commonly used. Hilti’s Equidist diamond layout and X-Change modules are designed for demanding concrete and high rebar content.
Why it's recommended
Cuts reinforced concrete consistently.
X-Change modules make it easier to remove stuck cores in the barrels.
Wet drilling extends bit life.
