OEM Flat Head Self Sealing Screws M3 M4 M5 Zinc Plated Black Oxide With Silicone O Ring For Instrument Panel Assembly Manufacturers, Suppliers

Flat head sealing screws have a countersunk head that sits flush with the surface when installed. A rubber O ring under the head compresses against the material, creating a watertight and dustproof seal. No sealant needed. IP67 and IP68 rated. Stainless steel or zinc plated. Phillips drive. M2 to M6.

Product Description

What is a flat head sealing screw anyway?

It is a countersunk screw with a rubber ring tucked under the head. Drive it in and the head ends up flush with the surface. Meanwhile, the rubber ring gets squished and seals the hole. Water and dust? They stay out.

Why pick flat head over other types?

Two reasons. First, looks. The head disappears into the material. No bumps sticking up. No edges to snag on things. Second, space. Flush mounting means nothing protrudes, so covers and wires slide right over.

How the seal actually works

The rubber ring sits in a groove cut into the underside of the head. As you tighten the screw, that ring gets pressed between the head and the surface. The more you turn, the tighter it seals. When fully seated, the rubber has filled the gap completely. Water cannot get past.

O ring materials we use

NBR handles oil and grease. Use it around engines and pumps.
Silicone handles hot and cold without getting brittle. Good for outdoor work.
EPDM stands up to sun, rain, and weather changes. Roofers like this one.
FKM holds up against harsh chemicals. Use it where solvents are present.
