A wall fastener assembly for use with a building wall system, with the wall fastener assembly including a fastener and an elongated, semi-rigid seal member. The fastener includes a shaft and a head, with the fastener configured to be secured to the wall system. The seal member includes opposed first and second ends, and a center bore that extends along the length of the seal member and is configured to receive the shaft of fastener. When the fastener is secured to the wall system the first end of the seal member is configured to compress against a portion of the wall system to form a first seal and the opposite second end of the seal member is configured to form a second seal to thereby seal the wall fastener assembly against the wall system.

A locking device adapted to lock a shell to an installation body includes a thread connection member extending through a connecting hole in the shell and engaging a threaded hole in the installation body, a sealing ring sleeved on the thread connection member and adapted to be pressed on an installation surface of the shell to seal the connecting hole of the shell, and a gasket sleeved on the thread connection member and adapted to be pressed between the thread connection member and the sealing ring to prevent the thread connection member from being loosened. The gasket has a pair of stopping arms. An angle defined between the stopping arms is greater than 0 degrees and less than 180 degrees. A pair of top ends of the stopping arms are adapted to simultaneously abut against an outer wall of the shell to prevent the gasket from rotating with the thread connection member.

A stop washer for an elastomeric bearing is manufactured as a single unit from a sheet metal blank and furnished with a surface protection. In addition to its function as a path limiter, it has at least one of the following functions by a structure integrated into the forming process of the sheet metal blank, namely the function of a thread and/or anti-rotation protection. Furthermore, an elastomeric bearing with such a stop washer and a subframe equipped therewith are conceivable.

A bonding washer for making electrical connection between two metal pieces that are to be mechanically fastened together. The washer, to be interposed between the two metal pieces, may be constructed so as to fasten to one of the pieces before the two pieces are joined. Teeth on the washer, positioned at right angles to the plane of the washer, are forced into each of the two metal pieces when the fastener is tightened, making electrical connection between the two metal pieces.

Seal arrangement (48) comprising a plug member (46) configured to seal a through opening (12) in a wall (10); a pressing section (74); and a cover member (70) configured to be connected to the plug member (46) and configured to force the pressing section (74) to press a sealing element (72), arranged laterally outside the plug member (46), towards the wall (10). A kit of parts and a method for sealing a through opening (12) in a wall (10) and for painting the wall (10) are also provided.

A multifunctional fastener is provided which is easy to install and combines a screw, and a washer and/or a wing assembly. The multifunctional fastener may include a fastener head. A threaded portion may extend longitudinally and distally of the fastener head. A fastener washer may be disposed between the fastener head and the threaded portion, and may extend radially outward of the fastener head. The wing assembly may include at least one fastener wing extending radially outward from the fastener head, and preferably radially outward of the fastener washer. A torque-applying tool connector may be provided in the fastener head. The torque-applying tool connector may be configured for engagement with a torque-applying tool such as a manual screwdriver or electric drill screwdriver to facilitate rotation of the threaded portion via the fastener head.

A fluid end having its fluid flow bores sealed without threading a retaining nut into the walls of each bore. The fluid ends may be assembled using a plurality of different kits, each kit comprising a fluid end body, a component, a retainer element, and a fastening system. The retainer element holds the component within each of the bores formed in the fluid end body and the fastening system secures the retainer element to the body. The fastening system comprises a plurality of externally threaded studs, washers and nuts in some embodiments. In other embodiments, the fastening system comprises a plurality of screws.
