Jerich LF462411 Ceramic Socket 16-point Hot

Product Description

The JERICH LF462411 is a ceramic hot socket designed for use in plumbing and fluid-control applications where heat resistance and a secure multi-point grip are required. This 2.3125-inch, 16-point socket provides a reliable fit for Altman-style ceramic valve internals. The ceramic construction handles elevated operating temperatures that would degrade standard polymer components. It is typically installed by licensed plumbers or journeyman pipefitters working on hot-water valve assemblies or similar service connections.

This socket is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing service work, particularly where Altman-style ceramic cartridge or valve assemblies are involved. The 16-point drive profile allows engagement with recessed or tight-clearance valve components. It is commonly used during valve seat service, cartridge replacement, or full valve rebuild procedures on hot-side plumbing connections.

Key Features

• Ceramic construction rated for hot-side service temperatures
• 16-point drive profile for positive engagement on valve internals
• 2.3125-inch sizing fits Altman-style ceramic valve components
• Designed to reduce slippage on recessed or tight-clearance fittings
• Compatible with standard plumbing service tool sets

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement socket for Altman ceramic valve assemblies requiring a 16-point, 2.3125-inch fit. Verify valve model and cartridge size before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified pipefitter. Shut off the water supply and relieve line pressure completely before disassembling any valve assembly. Use appropriate drive tools matched to the 16-point profile to avoid rounding the socket engagement surface. Follow local plumbing codes and manufacturer service procedures throughout the repair.
