Williams Comfort Products JHWST-1228 Shallow Socket 7/8 in

Product Description

The WILLIAMS COMFORT PRODUCTS JHWST-1228 is a shallow SAE socket designed for use with a 1/2 inch drive. It features a 7/8 inch opening and an overall length of 1.5 inches, making it well suited for fastener access in confined spaces where a standard-depth socket will not fit. The lobular internal geometry increases contact area on fastener flats, reducing the risk of rounding during high-torque applications. Technicians across HVAC, plumbing, and mechanical trades keep this type of socket in rotation for equipment service and panel work.

This socket is appropriate for residential and light commercial service work where SAE fasteners are encountered. The shallow profile allows engagement in recessed or tight mounting locations. It is compatible with both 6-point and 12-point fasteners, reducing the need to carry multiple sockets for different fastener head configurations. The 1/2 inch drive size makes it compatible with a wide range of common ratchets, breaker bars, and torque wrenches used in the trade.

Key Features

• Shallow profile at 1.5 inches OAL for access in confined fastener locations
• 7/8 inch SAE opening fits standard hex fasteners
• 1/2 inch drive fits common ratchets, breaker bars, and torque wrenches
• Lobular internal openings reduce fastener deformation under high torque
• Engages both 6-point and 12-point fasteners for broad compatibility

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement shallow socket for use with standard 1/2 inch drive tools on 7/8 inch SAE fasteners in mechanical and trade service applications.

Installation Notes

This socket is installed by hand tool technicians across HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and mechanical service trades. Ensure the socket is fully seated on the fastener head before applying torque to avoid slippage or fastener damage. Inspect the drive square and socket bore for wear or debris before use. Follow applicable workplace safety practices when working in live electrical or pressurized system environments.
