Williams Comfort Products JHW31708BT Metric Socket 8MM

Product Description

The WILLIAMS COMFORT PRODUCTS JHW31708BT is a metric, bolt-through socket designed for fast, reliable engagement on 6-point fasteners. Built around a 3/8 inch drive, this socket features an 8 MM opening and an overall length of 1 7/16 inches. The bolt-through design allows the socket to pass over long-threaded fasteners or protruding bolt ends, making it well suited for tight or awkward installation points. Mechanics, HVAC technicians, plumbers, and electricians reach for this style of socket when standard sockets cannot clear an extended stud or bolt shaft. It is sold individually as a single-piece unit.

This socket is appropriate for general trade work across residential and commercial applications where metric fasteners are standard. The 8 MM size is commonly encountered in equipment panels, motor mounts, electrical enclosures, and mechanical assemblies. The 3/8 inch drive sizing fits a wide range of common ratchets and extensions already found in most trade toolkits, minimizing the need for additional adapters in the field.

Key Features

• Bolt-through design accommodates long-threaded fasteners and protruding bolt ends
• 6-point contact geometry for secure engagement and reduced fastener rounding
• 3/8 inch drive for broad compatibility with standard ratchets and extensions
• 8 MM metric opening for common metric fastener sizes found in trade equipment
• Compact 1 7/16 inch overall length suited for use in confined spaces

Compatibility

Designed as a standard metric bolt-through socket compatible with 3/8 inch drive ratchets, breaker bars, and extensions commonly used in HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and general mechanical service work.

Installation Notes

This socket is installed and removed by hand with a compatible 3/8 inch drive ratchet or extension — no special tools are required beyond standard drive equipment. Ensure the drive tool and socket are fully engaged before applying torque to avoid slippage. Always de-energize or isolate equipment before accessing fasteners on powered systems. Inspect the socket for cracks or wear before each use.
