Q: What is a “square female pipe plug” and where is this used?
A: A square female pipe plug is a threaded pipe closing piece where the plug end has an internal square drive recess. The 1011FP fits into that square recess to remove or install the plug. This is common in older plumbing, hydraulics, some equipment housings, or machinery paneling.
Q: Can this socket be used with an impact wrench?
A: Yes. It is impact-rated, built with alloy steel designed to handle the shock and torque from impact tools. Using correct socket-drive combinations and proper tool lubrication helps maximize life.
Q: What are the dimensions and how do they affect fit in tight locations?
A: The “E” length is about 0.98 inch, “A” (drive end width) is approximately 0.75 inch, and “B” (socket-end/plugs contact face width) about 0.28 inch. These dimensions allow the 1011FP to work in moderately tight spaces around fittings and block access where longer sockets or large-profiling ones might not fit cleanly.
