Williams Comfort Products JHWBU-1214 Penta Socket 7/16 in

Product Description

The WILLIAMS COMFORT PRODUCTS JHWBU-1214 is a 5-point penta socket designed to drive tamper-resistant 5-point nuts found on Buffalo-style utility covers used by gas, electric, and water companies to protect shutoff gates. Built for trade professionals who encounter these fasteners in the field, it features a 3/8-inch drive, a 7/16-inch opening, and an overall length of 1.4 inches. The lobular SUPERTORQUE internal geometry delivers increased turning power while reducing the risk of fastener deformation under load. At 0.12 pounds, it is compact and easy to carry in a service bag or tool pouch.

This socket is used by gas service technicians, utility workers, plumbers, and electricians who need access to shutoff gates secured with tamper-resistant 5-point fasteners. The SAE, universal fit makes it appropriate for standard 3/8-inch drive ratchets and extension bars commonly found in trade toolkits. It is suited for both residential and commercial utility access points where Buffalo-style covers are installed.

Installation Notes

This socket is typically used by licensed gas service technicians, plumbers, and electricians performing utility shutoff access in the field. Before operating any shutoff gate, follow all applicable utility company protocols and local code requirements. Ensure the drive ratchet and any extension are fully seated before applying torque to avoid rounding the fastener head.
