Williams Comfort Products JHWH-1230 Shallow Socket 1/2 Drive

Product Description

The WILLIAMS COMFORT PRODUCTS JHWH-1230 is a shallow-profile SAE socket designed for use with a 1/2 inch drive ratchet or torque wrench. The 15/16 inch opening uses lobular internal geometry to grip fasteners at the flat faces rather than the corners, reducing fastener deformation under high torque loads. At 2 inches overall length, this shallow socket fits in tight clearance areas where a standard or deep socket would not seat properly. HVAC technicians, plumbers, electricians, and mechanical contractors use this type of socket when working around compressors, pumps, flanges, and panel hardware.

This socket is suited for residential and light commercial service work where SAE fasteners are common. The lobular opening design engages both 6-point and 12-point fasteners, making it versatile across a range of hex bolt and nut configurations encountered in mechanical system installations and repairs. Its compact 2 inch overall length is particularly useful in confined equipment spaces such as air handler cabinets, boiler enclosures, and electrical panel surrounds.

Key Features

• Lobular opening geometry grips fastener flats to reduce corner rounding under load
• Compatible with both 6-point and 12-point fasteners for broad fastener coverage
• Shallow profile at 2 inches OAL fits tight clearance applications
• 1/2 inch drive accepts standard ratchets, breaker bars, and torque wrenches
• SAE sizing at 15/16 inch for common imperial fasteners in mechanical systems

Compatibility

Designed as a 1/2 inch drive SAE shallow socket for use with standard 1/2 inch drive ratchets, extensions, and torque wrenches in trade and service applications.

Installation Notes

This socket is installed and used by licensed mechanical, HVAC, plumbing, and electrical tradespeople. Always ensure the drive tool is rated for the torque being applied before use. Inspect the socket for cracks or deformation before each use and remove from service if damage is found. Do not use impact-rated tools with a socket not rated for impact service.
