Ampco SS-1/2D1-3/16 Hand Socket 1-3/16 in 6-point

Product Description

The AMPCO SS-1/2D1-3/16 is a 6-point hand socket designed for 1/2 inch drive ratchets and breaker bars. It accepts a 1-3/16 inch fastener and is machined from aluminum bronze, a non-sparking, non-magnetic alloy used in hazardous or spark-sensitive environments. The overall length is 1-5/8 inches, placing it in the standard-length category. A chrome finish is applied to the exterior. This socket is appropriate for licensed tradespeople and maintenance professionals working in refineries, chemical plants, utilities, and other facilities where spark hazard controls are required.

This socket sees use wherever non-sparking hand tools are mandated by safety protocol. Aluminum bronze construction meets requirements for work near flammable gases, vapors, or dusts. Typical applications include industrial maintenance, HVAC equipment service in classified areas, plumbing and gas system work in petrochemical facilities, and electrical panel maintenance where arc or spark risk is a concern. Standard 1/2 inch drive compatibility means it works with a wide range of drive tools already in a service professional's kit.

Installation Notes

Installation of this socket requires no permanent mounting. Before use, confirm the drive tool and socket are free of cracks or deformation. In classified or hazardous locations, follow applicable facility safety procedures and NFPA guidelines governing non-sparking tool requirements. Do not use impact drivers with this hand socket unless the tool is explicitly rated for impact service.
