Williams Comfort Products JHWB-1217 Shallow Socket Sae

Product Description

The WILLIAMS COMFORT PRODUCTS JHWB-1217 is a shallow-profile SAE socket designed for fastener driving in tight-clearance applications. Built on a 3/8 inch drive, it accepts a 17/32 inch fastener and measures 1 and 1/32 inches in overall length. The shallow design reduces total stack height, making it the right choice when a standard-depth socket cannot fit. It is sold as an individual unit and suits HVAC, plumbing, and general mechanical service work where accessible fastener engagement matters.

This socket is suited for residential and light commercial service work where technicians need compact tooling. The 3/8 inch drive is compatible with standard ratchets, extensions, and torque wrenches found in most trade tool sets. The shallow body keeps the tool close to the work surface, which is useful when working around equipment panels, brackets, and pipe hangers in confined mechanical spaces.

Key Features

• Shallow socket profile reduces stack height for tight-clearance fastener access
• 3/8 inch drive compatible with standard ratchets and extensions
• 17/32 inch SAE fastener size for precise fit without slippage
• Lobular internal openings designed for greater turning force without deforming fastener corners
• Engages both 6-point and 12-point fasteners

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement socket for 3/8 inch drive SAE tool sets used in mechanical trade service applications.

Installation Notes

This socket is installed by hand trades including HVAC technicians, plumbers, and pipefitters using standard 3/8 inch drive ratchets or torque wrenches. Always confirm the fastener size before applying drive force to avoid rounding. Do not use impact drivers with shallow sockets unless the socket is impact-rated. Inspect the socket for cracks or wear before each use.
