</infobox> The Valve Socket Handle is a Collectible Tools item found in the Wintermute story mode of The Long Dark.

During the mission The Detonators, Will Mackenzie journeys to the Last Prospect mine and uses 2 of these to redirect airflow throughout certain sections of the mine. At a few points, the handle gets stuck and cannot be dislodged in the ON position.

Will performs the same task to clear away toxic gas in the Blackrock Foothills Mine for Jace during Episode 5, with a single handle being found in the episode.
