Metallics BHD5 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size hole does the Metallics BHD5 bell hanger bit drill, and how deep can it reach?
The BHD5 cuts a 1/4 inch diameter hole and the bit is 18 inches long overall, so it reaches through stacked plates, deep stud bays, and framing you cannot get a standard jobber bit into. The 1/4 inch hole suits running fish tape, pull wire, or low voltage cable through framing on electrical rough-in.
2) What is a bell hanger drill bit actually for, versus a standard twist bit?
A bell hanger bit is a long, slender shank bit used by electricians and low voltage installers to drill through walls, plates, and framing and then pull wire back through the hole. The extended shank does the reaching a standard twist bit cannot. The Metallics BHD5 is the 1/4 inch by 18 inch version, sized for the hole electrical hardware and bell hanger mounting usually needs.
3) Will the BHD5 fit a standard drill chuck?
The BHD5 has a 1/4 inch diameter, which drops into any 3/8 inch or 1/2 inch chuck on a corded or cordless drill. No adapter needed.
4) How do I order the Metallics bell hanger bit by part number?
The part number is BHD5, from Metallics, for the 1/4 inch by 18 inch bell hanger bit. That single model code covers it; there are no finish or length options to specify.
5) Is 18 inches long enough to get through an exterior wall for a service penetration?
Eighteen inches of bit gets you through typical framed wall assemblies and through stacked top or bottom plates with room left for the chuck to clear. Where it will not work is drilling through a deep masonry or concrete wall, or any run longer than the bit, and the BHD5 is a wood and general purpose bell hanger bit rather than a masonry bit. For those, you need a longer bit or a hammer drill with a masonry bit of matching diameter.
6) Does the Metallics BHD5 come as a single bit or in a set?
It ships as one bit, packed individually in a pouch. Order per piece, so if you want more than one size on the truck you order each length and diameter separately.
