These are only guidelines based on past experiences, however, and depending on local
conditions, ground type, and the amount of fracturing in the material being broken, you will
develop a sense of what is the best hole length in each particular application.
When breaking reinforced concrete, the hole spacing should be fairly close (12”-15”)
especially if there is a tight rebar pattern. It is important to ensure that any intersection with
the rebar in the concrete is recognized as even the slightest deviation in the accuracy of the
hole will have an adverse effect on your ability to insert the power cylinder.
