HOW TO ORDER

Specify APM boot part number and, if necessary, the appropriate bushing

adaptor part number (please see page 19).

Sealing Boots for Pushbutton-Actuated Switches

HEXSEAL® and E-SEEL® pushbutton boots are molded from a high tear-strength silicone rubber bonded to a built-in

mounting nut (other materials available for specific environments). Each encloses the base of the protruding switch

bushing and forms a watertight and dust-tight seal against the front panel surface.
