Homewerks Worldwide Llc 41SSV Shower Valve Socket Wrench

Product Description

The HOMEWERKS WORLDWIDE LLC 41SSV is a shower valve socket wrench designed for removing hex tub and shower valve stems. It features dual socket sizes of 21/32 inches and 27/32 inches, allowing a single tool to cover two of the most common hex stem profiles found in residential tub and shower installations. Plumbers and service technicians reach for this wrench when extracting cartridge-style or stem-style valve bodies that resist standard pliers or basin wrenches. The compact socket design reduces the risk of damaging surrounding tile or valve body threads during removal.

This tool is suited for residential plumbing service work, particularly in bathroom applications where tub and shower valve stems need replacement or inspection. It is most commonly used during faucet repair and remodel work where access to the valve stem is tight and a standard socket or adjustable wrench cannot engage the hex properly. The 41SSV is packaged individually and sold in a unit of measure of each, with a package quantity of 6 units per case, making it practical for shop stocking or van inventory.

Installation Notes

A licensed plumber or qualified service technician should shut off the water supply at the shutoff valves or main before removing any shower or tub valve stem. Drain residual pressure from the line before beginning disassembly. Use appropriate torque to avoid cracking the valve body seat; do not use impact drivers with this tool.
