ThredSeals® | Zatkoff

Applications

ThredSeals are safe and reliable seals for threaded devices. They are self-centering and non-directional, designed to seal directly against threads, without any special requirements.

ThredSeals can also offer considerable savings because they enable the use of low cost standard fasteners and full threaded fittings. They are easy to assemble and do not require special skills or tooling; simply push them on with a slight twisting motion and tighten the fastener.

ThredSeal Features

Unlike other cure-in-place thread sealing methods, ThredSeals are mechanical, not chemical in application. They can be easily assembled and removed, do not require set up cure time, and are easily parted from contacting surfaces without special tools or chemicals, providing easy access to the sealed areas.

ThredSeals seal at the recommended pressure and temperature levels by utilizing the bolt threads to form a contained elastomeric dam. If the elastomeric element is not damaged to the extent of tearing or rupturing, the seals are reusable. Close visual inspection after each removal is recommended, and the use of cover washers will reduce the possibility of tears or breaks in the rubber, as well as provide adequate seating surfaces for the nut.
