Ampco SS-1/2D25/32 Hand Socket 25/32 Inch 6-point

Product Description

The AMPCO SS-1/2D25/32 is a 1/2-inch drive, 6-point hand socket sized at 25/32 inches, built from aluminum bronze for use in spark-resistant and corrosion-sensitive environments. The standard-length design measures 1-7/16 inches overall. Aluminum bronze construction is required in settings where ferrous tools pose a fire or explosion hazard, such as refineries, chemical plants, and certain marine applications. The chrome finish provides added surface protection. This socket is installed and used by maintenance mechanics, pipefitters, and industrial tradespeople working in hazardous-location or non-sparking tool programs.

This socket suits industrial and commercial maintenance applications where non-sparking tool requirements are enforced by site safety protocols or regulatory standards. The 1/2-inch drive accepts standard 1/2-inch drive ratchets, extensions, and torque wrenches. The 6-point design provides full-face contact on hex fasteners, reducing the risk of rounding at high torque. Standard-length sizing fits most general-access fastener locations without requiring a deep-well socket.

Key Features

• Aluminum bronze construction meets non-sparking tool requirements for hazardous locations
• 6-point drive geometry provides full-face contact on hex fasteners to reduce fastener rounding
• 1/2-inch drive accepts common ratchets, breaker bars, and torque wrenches
• 25/32-inch socket size for precise fastener fit
• Standard length at 1-7/16 inches overall for general-access applications
• Chrome finish for added corrosion resistance on the socket body

Compatibility

Designed for use with 1/2-inch drive hand tool systems. Fits standard 1/2-inch drive ratchets, extensions, and torque wrenches accepting 6-point hand sockets in the standard-length configuration.

Installation Notes

Non-sparking aluminum bronze sockets are installed and used by qualified mechanics and tradespeople operating under site-specific hazardous-location tool policies. Confirm the drive tool and socket are rated for the applied torque before use. Inspect the socket for cracks, deformation, or wear before each use and remove from service if damage is found. Do not use impact drivers or impact wrenches with hand sockets not rated for impact service.
