Williams Comfort Products JHWRFW-16 Flare Nut Wrench Sae

Product Description

The WILLIAMS COMFORT PRODUCTS JHWRFW-16 is a SAE flare nut wrench designed for professional use on tube fittings, compression fittings, valves, and fasteners with 6-point or 12-point configurations. The wrench features a 1/2 inch jaw opening and an overall length of 5-3/8 inches, making it well suited for work in confined spaces. High carbon steel jaws snap open and then close around the fastener with 6-point contact, which distributes force evenly and reduces the risk of rounding or distorting thin-walled fittings. Only 30 degrees of rotation is required to engage the ratcheting action, improving speed and convenience in restricted areas.

This wrench is used in HVAC, refrigeration, plumbing, and gas line service where flare fittings and compression connections are common. The short overall length and low-profile jaw design allow access to fitting clusters and valve packs that standard open-end wrenches cannot reach. Licensed HVAC technicians and plumbers will find it particularly useful when working on refrigerant line sets, water supply connections, and gas valve fittings in tight equipment compartments or wall cavities.

Key Features

• 1/2 inch jaw opening sized for standard SAE tube fittings and compression nuts
• Requires only 30 degrees of rotation for ratcheting action in tight spaces
• High carbon steel jaws provide 6-point contact to prevent fastener rounding
• Prevents distortion of thin-walled fittings during installation or removal
• Compact 5-3/8 inch overall length for access in confined locations
• Compatible with 6-point and 12-point tube fittings, valves, and compression fittings

Compatibility

Designed for use on SAE 6-point and 12-point tube fittings, compression fittings, valves, and fasteners with a 1/2 inch fitting size.

Installation Notes

This tool is typically used by licensed HVAC technicians, refrigeration mechanics, and plumbers during installation or service of line-set connections, compression fittings, and valve packing nuts. Before servicing refrigerant or gas lines, follow all applicable lockout/tagout procedures and isolate the system per local code requirements including IFGC and IPC guidelines where applicable. Avoid applying excessive force beyond the fastener rating, as the wrench is optimized for controlled torque on thin-walled fittings. Inspect jaws for wear before use to maintain proper 6-point contact.
