Five-piece tub valve socket set

This Zoro Select set contains eleven sockets sized from 21/32 inch to 1-7/16 inch for removing recessed tub and shower valves. The zinc-plated and nickel-plated steel construction resists corrosion during plumbing work. A bar handle and wire are included for organised storage and easy access.

Suited for valve removal, not general use

Plumbers and maintenance technicians who need dedicated tools for deep-set valve bodies will appreciate the extended reach. Users looking for a standard mechanic's socket set or a broader range of drive sizes should look elsewhere.

Eleven socket capacities cover common valve sizes

The set spans 21/32, 27/32, 29/32, 31/32, 1-1/32, 1-3/32, 1-5/32, 1-9/32, 1-11/32, and 1-7/16 inch openings. Matching the exact valve size is the single specification that determines whether this kit fits the job.

Questions about this item

How do I fit the 21/32 in socket onto a recessed shower valve without stripping the flats?

Slide the 21/32 in socket over the valve stem, seat it fully on the hex flats, then turn with the included bar handle; the longer reach prevents rounding caused by short wrenches.

Will the zinc plated steel sockets need replacement if the plating wears through?

The zinc plated steel resists corrosion under normal use; if plating is damaged, clean and apply light oil to prevent rust rather than replacing the set.

At what valve size does the 1-7/16 in socket stop fitting standard tub valves?

The 1-7/16 in socket is the largest in the set and fits valves up to that size; larger valves require a different socket not included here.
