Abstract:
An adapter may be used to impart ramming force on a pipe having a larger diameter than the ramming tool. The adapter has a set of collets which interface with a conical nose on the ramming tool. The adapter further has a split ring that engages with the pipe and either the collet set or an intermediate cone. The split ring has gaps which are bridged by a cam connector. The cam connector may, through rotation of a cam pin, modify the size of the gaps in the split ring. Expansion of the split ring within a pipe allows the ring to hold its position without relying on a weldment or other more permanent connection.

Claim (Index 16):
A method comprising:\n placing two portions of a split ring within a section of pipe; spreading the two portions apart such that the split ring bears against the inner surface of the section of pipe; placing a set of collets within the split ring; placing a conical nose of a pneumatic hammer within the set of collets; and reciprocating the pneumatic hammer in a first direction such that the section of pipe is driven into the ground.
