Product Description
The MALCO rrw316 is a 3/16-inch hex key insert designed for use with Malco Refrigeration Ratchet Wrenches. It features a 1/4-inch square drive shank, making it compatible with any Malco refrigeration ratchet wrench handle. The insert provides a smooth ratcheting action that simplifies servicing valves in tight, hard-to-reach locations. With an overall length of 2-3/16 inches and a 3/4-inch tip length, it is well-suited for confined spaces commonly found in air conditioning and refrigeration condensing units. Licensed HVAC technicians and refrigeration service professionals are the primary installers of this accessory.
This hex key insert is used when servicing valves on residential and commercial air conditioning and refrigeration condensing units. Its compact profile and square drive compatibility allow technicians to work efficiently in areas where standard wrenches cannot reach. The insert is sold individually and is also available in packs of ten for shop or van stock replenishment. It pairs with the RRW316 3/4-inch tip hex key wrench insert and the RRW316C 1/2-inch tip hex key wrench insert to cover a range of service applications.
