Our design features a resilient O-ring held captive in a precision engineered groove under the fastener head. This combination of precise groove geometry and O-ring characteristics results in an absolute seal regardless of surface finish, while still providing full metal-to-metal contact. Vibration-resistant and re-usable, SEELSKREWS(R), SEELBOLTS(R), and SEELRIVETS(R) can withstand internal/external pressures up to 20,000 psig/vacuum at temperatures from -160F to +500F (-106C to +260C).* Made in the U.S.A., APM self-sealing & self-locking fasteners are available in standard and metric sizes in a wide choice of head and fastening types including self-tapping, and tamper-resistant. Typically, they are furnished in stainless steel/with different finishes or colors as may be required. All have pre mounted silicone rubber O-rings. Other elastomeric materials are also available to match and handle exposure to various chemicals and solvents (see materials table 1 on page 5). Consult factory for further information and pricing. They represent a superior sealing alternative to sealing compounds, tape, chemical coatings, and deformable washers that attempt to seal the threadform.

APM Pellet Locking action takes place inside the threads due to its vibration dampening characteristics, as opposed to at the bearing surface. The resilience of the pellet holds the fastener in place without adhesives or thread distortion. The pellet's resiliency also contributes to its superior degree of adjustability and repeated reusability. See pages 4, 5 & 6 of this catalog for complete list of fastener sizes to apply. Self-Sealing screws, bolts and nuts that have pellets installed can operate and deliver outstanding performance in both high and low temperature extremes without degradation. Under most operating conditions, these pellets are unaffected by vibration of reversal of stress. Installed in a drilled hole (just below the depth of the thread), APM pellets are typically positioned one to three threads back from the end of the fastener to assure ease of starting. Hole positioning can be modified to meet specific applications - contact Technical Sales for assistance. FEATURES HOW TO ORDER * Resistant to vibration and reversal of stress, APM pellets lock whether fasteners are seated or unseated. Specify the head type, thread size, length, followed by the Ordering Code.

S8-32X1-2701-BLKOX-NY * Saves money by eliminating the need for costly lock washers, cotter pins or castellated nuts. You get a close fit without expensive close tolerances. APM pellets are less expensive than applying bottled thread locking compounds at the point of assembly. * APM pellets are virtually impervious to a wide range of chemicals, water and motor fluids. They won't dry, shrink or lose resiliency when exposed to commercial solvents, alcohol, gasoline, oil, caustic soda, and many other chemicals.

The APM Strip delivers outstanding performance in both high and low temperature extremes. When assembled with a mating part the resilient APM Strip (usually Nylon) is compressed which provides a locking action in the thread instead of at the bearing surface due to vibration dampening characteristics. The fastener is held in place without the use of adhesives or thread distortion. The result is a self-sealing reusable fastener that is both locking and repeatedly adjustable. APM Strips are typically positioned one to three threads back from the end of the fastener to assure ease of starting. Special strip positioning can be tailored to fit your needs - contact Technical Sales for assistance. FEATURES HOW TO ORDER * Under most conditions, our self-sealing fasteners with Strips are unaffected by vibration or reversal of stress. APM Strips lock whether the fastener is seated or unseated. * APM Strip fasteners require no costly lock-washers, cotter pins, or castellated nuts. APM Strips provide close fits without the expense involved in attaining close tolerances, and are less expensive than applying bottled thread locking compounds at the point of assembly.

The APM Patch dry coating process is fused to the thread surface and delivered ready to be installed without the need for curing or any other special preparation. When assembled with a mating part the resilient engineered polymer (normally Nylon) Patch is compressed providing a locking action in the thread instead of at the bearing surface due to its vibration dampening characteristics. The resilience of the APM Patch holds the fastener in place without adhesives or thread distortion. Generally the Patch coating is applied 120 to 4-6 threads, starting 1-3 threads back form the end. Modified Patch location and coating length can be specified for specific applications. FEATURES SPECIFICATIONS * Patch provides excellent locking performance as well as increased sealing ability by completely filling the thread root with an elastic nylon dam. Primary Useage: Lock and Seal Reusability: Up to 15 on-off cycles Material: Nylon 11 Color: Yellow (other colors available upon request*) Hardness: Shore D (ASTM D2240) 70-80 Durometer Salt Spray Resistance: (ASTM B117) 1000+ hours (X scribe) Taber Abrasion: (ASTM D4060) 10-18 mg loss CS-10 wheel, 1000 g load, 1000 cycles (varies with color) Dielectric Strength: (ASTM D149) 800-1200 volts/mil @10.0 mils (varies with color) Direct Impact resistance: (MPTM 0002) 160 in. lbs. (@10.0 mils) Shelf Life: The on part shelf life is at least one year under ideal storage conditions (+4C to +32C, or +40F to +90F). * APM Patch process involves no drilling or milling, so there is no loss of the fastener's strength or hardness and no troublesome burrs or chips. * Saves money by eliminating the need for costly lock washers, cotter pins, or castellated nuts. You get a close fit without the costs involved in obtaining close tolerances. And, applying the Patch is less expensive than applying bottled threadlocking compounds at the point of assembly. * Resists heat and cold, and meets or exceeds IFI Specifications 124 & 524, as well as Military Specification MIL-DTL-18240F, Type P, for temperatures up to +250F (up to +121C). * APM Patch will not dry, shrink, or lose resiliency when exposed to commercial solvents, alcohol, gasoline, oil, caustic soda, jet fuel, etc. * The addition of the Patch greatly reduces the need for retightening. It can be reused repeatedly without damage to threads, and is particularly resistant to deformation. *QPL-18240 & MIL-DTL-18240F require yellow Nylon HOW TO ORDER Ordering Code: TP Example: To order a slotted pan head SEELCKREW, with a 8-32 thread, 1 inch long, with a silicone o-ring, black oxide finish, and with a Nylon patch order...

When the mating threads are engaged, the patch is compressed creating a dam-like action on the opposite side of the coating resulting in very strong metal-to-metal contact. When the hightemperature patch is fully seated, it forms a positive lock that will not loosen, even under extreme vibration. This dam-like action adds to the high-pressure sealing characteristics of the O-ring & groove sealing design of our self-sealing fasteners. FEATURES SPECIFICATIONS * Retains Full Strength: APM Hi-Temperature Patch process involves no drilling or milling, so there is no loss of the fastener's strength or hardness and no troublesome burrs or chips. Primary Useage: Lock and Seal Reusability: Up to 5 on-off cycles Material: Reinforced Nylon Color: Orange and Gray* Hardness: Shore D (ASTM D2240) 70-80 Durometer Salt Spray resistance: (ASTM B117) 1000+ hours (X scribe) Taber Abrasion: (ASTM D4060) 10-18 mg loss CS-10 wheel, 1000 g load, 1000 cycles Dielectric Strength: (ASTM D149) 800-1200 volts/mil @10.0 mils Direct Impact resistance: (MPTM 0002) 160 in. lbs. (@10.0 mils) * Saves Money & Time: APM Hi-Temperature Patch eliminates the need for expensive lock washers, cotter pins, or castellated nuts, and bottled thread locking compounds at the point of assembly. The Patch remains secure; fasteners coated with APM patch can be automatically fed through standard bowl feeders without fear of material falling off. * Chemical resistance: APM HI-Temperature Patch will not dry, shrink or otherwise be affected when exposed to commercial solvents, alcohol, gasoline, oil, caustic soda, jet fuel, etc. *QPL-18240 & MIL-DTL-18240F requires gray nylon. * Reusable: APM fasteners coated with the HiTemperature Patch can be reused repeatedly with out damage to the threads. The patch is particularly resistant to deformation which makes it ideal for repeated use.
