Ampco SS-3/4D1-9/16 Hand Socket 1-9/16 in 6-point

Product Description

The AMPCO SS-3/4D1-9/16 is a 3/4-inch drive, 6-point hand socket with a 1-9/16-inch socket opening, constructed from aluminum bronze. Aluminum bronze is a non-sparking, non-magnetic alloy commonly required in hazardous environments such as refineries, chemical plants, and fuel-handling facilities where standard steel tooling poses an ignition risk. The socket measures 2.25 inches in overall length and carries a chrome finish. It is intended for professional tradespeople and maintenance technicians who require compliant tooling in classified or sensitive work areas.

This socket is suited for industrial maintenance, petrochemical, marine, and utility applications where non-sparking tool requirements are enforced by site safety codes or regulatory standards. The 3/4-inch drive fits heavy-duty industrial ratchets and breaker bars, making it appropriate for larger fastener work on equipment, flanges, and structural connections encountered in commercial and industrial settings. It is not a general-purpose socket and is selected specifically when material compliance with non-sparking or non-magnetic requirements is mandated.

Key Features

• Aluminum bronze construction provides non-sparking and non-magnetic properties for use in hazardous locations
• 6-point drive geometry delivers maximum contact on fastener flats, reducing rounding risk
• 3/4-inch drive size compatible with heavy-duty industrial ratchets and torque tools
• 1-9/16-inch socket opening in standard length configuration
• Chrome finish for corrosion resistance and surface durability
• 2.25-inch overall length suits standard-depth fastener access

Compatibility

Designed for use with 3/4-inch drive ratchets, extensions, and torque wrenches in standard industrial tool systems requiring non-sparking aluminum bronze hand sockets.

Installation Notes

Installation and use of this socket should be performed by qualified maintenance technicians familiar with site safety requirements and applicable tool compliance standards. Ensure the drive tool is fully seated and rated for the torque being applied before use. In hazardous classified areas, verify that all tooling in use meets the site-specific non-sparking material specification before beginning work. Do not use this socket with impact drivers, as hand socket alloys are not rated for impact loading.
