Williams Comfort Products JHWBU-1212 Penta Socket 3/8 Dr

Product Description

The WILLIAMS COMFORT PRODUCTS JHWBU-1212 is a 5-point penta socket designed to service the tamper-resistant 5-point nuts found on Buffalo-style utility covers used by gas, electric, and water utilities to secure shutoff gates. Driven by a 3/8 inch drive, the socket measures 1 25/32 inches overall length and features a SAE universal fit. The lobular SUPERTORQUE opening geometry grips the fastener at the flanks rather than the corners, delivering greater torque transfer while reducing the risk of deforming the fastener head. This is a purpose-built utility service tool for field technicians who regularly access protected shutoff infrastructure.

This socket is intended for utility service professionals, gas technicians, plumbers, and electricians who encounter tamper-resistant 5-point penta nuts on utility covers in the field. It is well suited for residential and commercial service calls where access to gas shutoffs, water gates, or electrical service points is required. The universal SAE sizing and standard 3/8 inch drive make it compatible with common drive handles, ratchets, and extensions already in most service vans.

Installation Notes

Installation and use of this socket is typically performed by licensed gas technicians, plumbers, or utility service professionals operating under applicable local codes and utility regulations. Always confirm the utility shutoff is properly identified before applying torque to the fastener. Use appropriate personal protective equipment when working around active gas or electrical service points. Ensure the drive handle is fully seated in the socket before applying force to prevent slippage.
