Name of a tool - plumbing jargon??

[graham bowers]

The new cylinder I'm installing has 1 inch BSP male connections to the indirect coil. The 1 inch BSP female to 22mm compression adapter I'm fitting has a 1.5 inch across the flats hexagon. As the tank is foam insulated I can't use my big shifting spanner, I need a box spanner or socket spanner, which I don't have and don't look that easy to obtain on a Sunday.

Is there a special plumbing jargon name for such a tool please?

Nope, box spanner is a correct term. As is socket spanner, but a Bosnian spanner might be best, unless anyone has any better solutions?

What’s a Bosnian spanner?

OP yes a box spanner or deep socket are good tools for this; sometimes it is necessary to cut away some insulation - this can be replaced afterwards.

What’s a Bosnian spanner?

A spanner from Bosnia 😆. Bloody iPad autocorrect, should have read box spanner.

Thanks for replies.
I improvised a box spanner from a bit of thickish walled steel tube I had kicking around. Rough as a badgers bum, but it worked.

Excellent, that’s what it’s all about.

And I bet your wife didn’t understand that you were keeping that steel tube ‘cos you knew it would come in handy!
