Williams Comfort Products JHWRFW-32 Flare Nut Wrench

Product Description

The WILLIAMS COMFORT PRODUCTS JHWRFW-32 is a single-end flare nut wrench designed for work on tube fittings, compression fittings, valves, and fasteners in plumbing, HVAC, and refrigeration applications. The wrench features a 1 inch opening and an overall length of approximately 9.3 inches. Its high carbon steel jaws snap open and close around the fastener with 6-point contact, distributing force evenly to prevent distortion of thin-walled fittings — a common failure point when using open-end wrenches on soft tubing connections. The ratcheting mechanism requires only 30 degrees of rotation per stroke, making it practical in tight, confined spaces where full wrench swing is not possible.

This wrench is suited for residential and light commercial service work involving refrigerant line sets, gas supply tubing, and hydraulic or pneumatic compression fittings. HVAC technicians, plumbers, and pipefitters commonly reach for this tool when tightening or loosening flare nuts on copper or aluminum tubing where fitting integrity matters. The 30-degree ratchet arc makes it especially useful behind panels, inside equipment cabinets, or along wall-mounted piping runs where clearance is limited.

Key Features

• 1 inch jaw opening fits standard flare nuts and compression fittings
• 6-point jaw contact reduces the risk of rounding or distorting thin-walled fittings
• High carbon steel construction for durability under torque loads
• Only 30 degrees of rotation required for ratcheting action in tight spaces
• Single-end design with approximately 9.3 inch overall length for controlled leverage
• Compatible with 6-point and 12-point tube fittings, fasteners, valves, and compression fittings

Compatibility

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

Installation Notes

This tool is typically used by licensed HVAC technicians, plumbers, and pipefitters during installation or service of refrigerant, gas, or fluid line connections. Always isolate and depressurize the line or system before loosening or tightening any fitting. Apply torque smoothly and avoid over-tightening, which can crack flare seats or damage compression sleeves. Follow applicable codes such as IFGC or manufacturer torque guidance for the specific fitting material and connection type.
