What is a 152mm core used for?

152mm holes are usually cut for 150mm (6 inch) ducting, extractor fans and ventilation. A 150mm duct leaves only about 1mm clearance each side in a 152mm hole, so if the duct needs a sleeve or sealant, many installers step up to a 162mm core. Always check the recommended hole size for the fan, flue or fire sleeve before drilling.

Dry or wet core?

Dry cores (DCU350, DCU550, DCU750X, PC850 and CCU850X) cut without water, so with dust extraction there is no slurry to clean up indoors. The PC850 also runs from a percussion drill. Wet cores (the WCU and WF850X ranges) need a water feed, are the usual choice for heavily reinforced concrete and are often used on a drilling rig. The CCW850X is a semi-wet core that needs only a little water.

Other popular sizes: 38-42mm, 52mm, 107mm, 117mm and 127mm. Or browse all diamond core drill bits and core drill sets.
