Williams Comfort Products JHWBU-1220 Penta Socket 5/8 in

Product Description

The WILLIAMS COMFORT PRODUCTS JHWBU-1220 is a 5-point Penta-Socket designed to service the tamper-resistant 5-point nuts found on Buffalo utility covers used by gas, electric, and some water companies to protect shutoff gates. Built on a 3/8 inch drive with a 5/8 inch socket size and an overall length of 1 25/32 inches, this socket features SUPERTORQUE lobular openings that deliver increased turning power while reducing the risk of deforming the fastener head. It is sold as a single unit and suits utility service professionals who need reliable access to tamper-resistant hardware in the field.

This socket sees use in gas, electric, and water utility service applications where standard sockets cannot engage the 5-point penta fasteners protecting shutoff gate covers. It is appropriate for residential and commercial utility access points and is typically carried by field service technicians, utility contractors, and licensed trades who perform shutoff valve access, meter work, or underground utility service at street-level covers.

Installation Notes

This socket is installed by utility service technicians and licensed trades accessing shutoff gates at meter or street-level utility covers.

Follow applicable utility company access procedures and local safety codes when working near gas or electrical shutoff points.
