Williams Comfort Products JHWST-626 Shallow Socket

Product Description

The WILLIAMS COMFORT PRODUCTS JHWST-626 is a shallow 6-point hand socket designed for high-torque fastener work in confined spaces. Built to a 13/16 inch opening with a 1/2 inch drive, it features lobular internal geometry that increases turning power while reducing stress on fastener corners. The overall length is 1.5 inches, keeping the profile compact where clearance is limited. This socket is sized in SAE measure and sold individually. Technicians across HVAC, plumbing, and general mechanical trades reach for shallow sockets when standard-depth tools will not fit the working envelope.

This socket suits residential and light commercial service work where 1/2 inch drive tooling is standard. Typical applications include equipment panel fasteners, blower assembly hardware, condenser unit mounting bolts, and similar six-point fastener tasks encountered during installation or service calls. The shallow profile is especially useful when working around sheet metal enclosures or inside equipment cabinets where a deep socket would contact adjacent components.

Key Features

• Lobular opening geometry increases turning power without deforming fastener flats
• 6-point design maximizes engagement surface on hex fasteners
• Shallow profile at 1.5 inches overall length suits tight working clearances
• 1/2 inch drive accepts standard 1/2 inch drive ratchets and extensions
• SAE sizing — 13/16 inch opening

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 1/2 inch drive shallow SAE socket compatible with any 1/2 inch drive ratchet, breaker bar, or torque wrench using a square drive interface.

Installation Notes

This socket is installed by licensed HVAC technicians, plumbers, electricians, and general service mechanics as part of standard hand-tool inventory. Power down and lock out equipment before loosening or tightening fasteners on live systems. Use a calibrated torque wrench when fastener torque requirements are specified by the equipment manufacturer. Inspect the socket for cracks or wear before each use and retire any damaged tooling.
