Metric Torx Countersunk Sealing Screws.

What are Metric Torx Countersunk Sealing Screws?

Produced in the USA by ZAGO, this high-tech Torx Countersunk Sealing Screw, is uniquely engineered to feature a captive rubber O-Ring. Once installed, this O-Ring squeezes outwardly to create a 360° seal, preventing internal and external leaks. This helps to fortify and protect machinery from damage as a result of exposure to aggressive substances, even under extreme temperatures and pressures. 

Featuring a Countersunk Head, these Self Seal Screws are suitable to be installed into a countersunk hole, resulting in the screw head sitting flush with the mating component’s surface. The pre-installed O-Ring on the underside of the screw head creates a hermetic seal, which prevents the seepage of pollutants into the installation environment.

For optimal performance, it is recommended that a clearance gap is created in the surface of the mating panel to allow the O-Ring to reshape itself within this gap. This allows metal-to-metal contact between the screw head and mating surface, helping ensure the integrity of the O Ring is not compromised when the fastener is under pressure.

Similarly to our regular Metric Torx Countersunk Screws, this Sealing Screw alternative is fastened with the use of a Torx Drive (Star Drive). This is a popular drive type, offering higher torque transmission over the more traditional drive types, i.e. Phillips and Slotted Drives, and allows for increased cam-out resistance during installation.
