Williams Comfort Products JHW31616BT Socket 3/8 in Drive

Product Description

The WILLIAMS COMFORT PRODUCTS JHW31616BT is a SAE bolt-thru socket built for demanding fastener work in professional trade applications. Driven by a 3/8 inch drive, this socket fits 1/2 inch fasteners and measures 1.4375 inches overall length. The lobular internal opening geometry is engineered to engage 6-point fasteners with high torque transfer while reducing the risk of fastener rounding under load. Technicians working in tight clearances or on through-bolt applications will find the bolt-thru design particularly useful for extended reach on threaded rod or long fasteners.

This socket is suited for HVAC, plumbing, and general mechanical trade work where reliable fastener engagement matters. The 3/8 inch drive pairs with a wide range of standard ratchets and breaker bars common in service van setups. Its compact overall length makes it manageable in moderate-clearance installations, and the SAE sizing fits standard inch-measurement hardware found across residential and commercial mechanical systems.

Installation Notes

This socket is installed and used by licensed HVAC technicians, plumbers, electricians, and general mechanical tradespeople. Always ensure the drive tool is rated for the torque demands of the application. Inspect the socket for cracks or wear before use, and verify the fastener size matches before applying load to avoid fastener damage.
