  • Patent number: 5409337
    Abstract: A seal assembly (21) is disclosed for use with a housing (H) which defines a fluid chamber (C) and a threaded opening (O). In threaded engagement with the opening is a threaded portion (13) of a device such as a sensor assembly (11 ). The housing defines a counterbore (CB) disposed axially between the threaded opening (O) and an external surface (S). The seal assembly (21) includes a metal support member (23) including a cylindrical portion (27) having inner (33) and outer (35) portions of elastomeric sealing material. The seal assembly is pressed into the counterbore and, by means of the interference fit therebetween, may be permanently retained therein. As the member is threaded into the opening, the underside (16) of the head (15) deforms a sealing lip (39) radially inward into engagement with the threaded portion (13).
