Frequently Asked Questions
What is a corp stop key socket?
A corp stop key socket fits the slotted operating nut on corporation stop valves. The L25 included in this set has a 0.48-inch slot width and works on 3/4" to 2" corp stops. It mounts on the same L500 ratchet handle as the hex sockets.
What is the difference between a thru-bolt socket and an impact socket?
The thru-bolt socket vs. impact socket choice depends on bolt length. A thru-bolt socket has an open center that lets long bolts pass through. An impact socket has a closed bottom and fits a standard 1/2" drive. Use thru-bolt sockets when bolts extend past the nut.
What size socket for mechanical joint bolts?
Most mechanical joint bolts on ductile iron pipe take 1-1/8" or 1-1/4" hex sockets. Smaller joints and service connections may use 15/16" or 1-1/16" hardware. Check the fitting manufacturer's installation guide for the exact nut size.
How to choose a waterworks socket set?
Match the set to the work. The L511 covers the four most common sizes (7/8" to 1-1/4") for crews doing mainly saddle and flange work. The L515 adds 3/4", 1-1/16", and a corp stop key for crews that need every size on one truck.
L515 vs L511: which socket set?
The L511 includes four hex sockets and a corp stop key. The L515 includes six hex sockets and a corp stop key, covering 3/4" to 1-1/4". Both use the same L500 handle. Choose the L515 when the crew works across all pipe sizes and needs corp stop capability.
