Bollhoff SEAL LOCK® | Durable Screw-in System with Maximum Sealing

SEAL LOCK® sealing nuts from Böllhoff are high-performance, one-piece fasteners designed to create strong, leak-resistant screw joints. They offer dual sealing—both at the internal threads and the flange surface—which generally provides reliable protection against gases and liquids, even under pressure. These sealing nuts are also quick and easy to install. The design typically retains the preload force even after repeated tightening cycles.

Seal Lock Product Details & Specifications

Double Sealing Action

Seals both inside the thread and under the nut head which helps avoid fluids or gases from leaking.

High Preload Force Retention

The metal-coated design helps prevent loss of clamp force when the sealing ring is in place.

One-Piece Construction

Simplifies handling and installation—no separate sealing element to install.

Reusability

Maintains sealing effectiveness and preload integrity even after multiple fastening cycles.
