Embedded* O-Ring Self-Sealing Fastener System

 

Embedded* O-Ring Self-Sealing Fastener System Explained

One-Step Embedded O-Ring-In-A-Groove Technique

ACTION:
Predetermined size O-Ring embedded in an asymmetrical groove. Partially compressed (20%) into countersunk-threaded area.

RESULTS:

• System allows full torquing with sealing integrity
• 360° metal-to-metal head-panel contact
• Seals to 20,000 psig (137,895kPa)
  against internal/external gas/liquid leakage
• Multiple reusability due to miminum O-ring friction
• Temperature range -160°F to +500°F (-106°C to +250°C)
• UL & CSA Recognized
