Williams Comfort Products JHWB-628 Shallow Socket 7/8 in

Product Description

The WILLIAMS COMFORT PRODUCTS JHWB-628 is a shallow SAE socket designed for use with a 3/8 inch drive ratchet or extension. It measures 7/8 inch in fastener size with an overall length of 1.28 inches, making it well suited for tight-clearance fastening tasks where a standard-depth socket will not fit. The lobular internal opening geometry engages 6-point fasteners firmly, reducing the risk of rounding or deforming the fastener head during high-torque applications. Mechanics and trade professionals working in confined spaces on HVAC equipment, plumbing fixtures, or general mechanical assemblies will find this socket useful for routine service and installation work.

This socket is appropriate for residential and light commercial service applications where SAE fastener sizes are standard. It is sold individually and is compatible with any standard 3/8 inch drive tool, including ratchets, torque wrenches, and breaker bars. The shallow profile is particularly useful when working around panels, brackets, and structural members where a deep socket would contact surrounding hardware before fully seating on the fastener.

Key Features

• Shallow profile allows access in restricted-clearance fastening locations
• 7/8 inch SAE fastener size fits standard hex-head bolts and nuts
• 3/8 inch drive compatible with common ratchets, torque wrenches, and extensions
• Lobular opening geometry maximizes engagement on 6-point fasteners
• Reduces fastener deformation during high-torque applications

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-fit shallow socket for any standard 3/8 inch square drive tool using SAE fastener sizes.

Installation Notes

This socket is installed by trade mechanics, HVAC technicians, and plumbers as part of routine equipment service. Always ensure the drive tool and socket are fully seated before applying torque. Inspect the socket for cracks or wear before each use and replace if damaged. Follow applicable service manuals and safety procedures when working on pressurized or energized systems.
