Apex 80227 Deep Socket 1/4 Drive 12 Point 7/16 Inch

Product Description

The APEX 80227 is a deep-length, 12-point socket designed for 1/4 inch drive tools. Built from alloy steel with a full polish chrome finish, it fits 7/16 inch fasteners and delivers reliable torque transfer in tight or deep-access applications. The 12-point configuration engages fasteners at more positions than a 6-point socket, making it easier to fit onto fastener heads in confined spaces. At 1.929 inches in length, this deep socket reaches recessed hardware that standard-length sockets cannot access. Techs working on HVAC equipment, plumbing fixtures, and electrical panels will find it useful for any application requiring a 7/16 inch fastener with extended reach.

This socket suits residential and light commercial service work across HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and pool equipment installations. The deep configuration is particularly useful when fasteners are set into housings, panels, or mounting brackets where a shallow socket cannot seat fully. It is sold individually and is compatible with any 1/4 inch drive ratchet, extension, or torque wrench.

Key Features

• Deep-length design at 1.929 inches for reaching recessed fasteners

Installation Notes

This socket is installed and removed by hand with a 1/4 inch drive ratchet or torque wrench. Always ensure the socket is fully seated on the fastener before applying torque to avoid rounding. De-energize electrical panels and shut off gas or water supply before using hand tools on service equipment. Follow applicable NEC, IPC, or IFGC requirements for fastener torque specifications on equipment connections.
