Williams Comfort Products JHWBM-1216 Shallow Metric Socket

Product Description

The WILLIAMS COMFORT PRODUCTS JHWBM-1216 is a shallow metric socket designed for professional trade use in tight-clearance fastening applications. Built on a 3/8 inch drive, it fits 16 MM fasteners and features a lobular internal opening geometry that increases turning power while reducing the risk of deforming fastener heads. The overall length of 1.2 inches keeps the profile compact, making it useful where standard-depth sockets will not seat properly. This socket is sold individually and is suited for mechanics, HVAC technicians, plumbers, and electricians who regularly work with metric hardware.

This shallow metric socket is intended for use in residential and commercial service environments where metric fasteners are encountered on equipment panels, mechanical assemblies, and structural components. The 3/8 inch drive is one of the most common drive sizes in trade toolkits, and the 16 MM size covers a wide range of metric bolt and nut heads found on HVAC equipment, plumbing fixtures, and electrical enclosures. Its compact height of 0.9 inches allows access in recessed or confined spaces where a standard-depth socket would not fit.

Installation Notes

This socket is installed by licensed technicians and service professionals as part of routine equipment maintenance or repair. Ensure the drive tool and socket are fully seated before applying torque to avoid slippage or rounding of the fastener. Inspect the socket for cracks or wear before each use, particularly in high-cycle applications. Use appropriate personal protective equipment and follow all applicable workplace safety standards when working on powered or pressurized systems.
