What are Cap Nut and Seal Washer Sets for Hygienic USIT® Applications?
Cap Nut and Seal Washer Sets for Hygienic USIT® Applications are complete, pre-configured sanitary fastening kits that combine a stainless steel collar cap nut with a matching Hygienic USIT® seal and shim washer. Supplied as an all-in-one assembly system, these kits are engineered to cover exposed threads while simultaneously sealing the fastening point.
To achieve a true cavity-free seal, the specialized collar cap nut must be paired with its corresponding sealing components. You can find the full selection of individual matching hardware options within the official WDS Stainless Nuts and Washers. When tightened together, the collar compresses the elastomer sealing ring flush against the mounting surface, eliminating open threads, gaps, and dead spaces where harmful bacteria, product residue, and aggressive cleaning fluids could otherwise collect.
Key Features
- All-In-One Hygienic System: Bundles the correct matching collar cap nut and USIT® washer together, removing the risk of purchasing incompatible components.
- EHEDG Certified Design: Meets strict European Hygienic Engineering & Design Group standards to guarantee optimal cleanability and contamination control in sterile environments.
- Dead-Space Free Sealing: Completely seals the thread entry and caps the exposed stud, converting a standard fastening point into a smooth, hygienic surface.
- Premium 316 Stainless Steel: The cap nut and washer are forged from marine-grade 316 Stainless Steel (1.4404) with a high-gloss polished finish to resist pitting from harsh sanitizers.
- Advanced Seal Material Options:
- Black 75 EPDM 295 / White 70 EPDM 253815: Highly durable synthetic rubbers for everyday sanitary sealing.
- Blue 75 Fluoroprene® XP 45: A specialist elastomer engineered for extreme temperature and elevated chemical process resistance.
Industrial Applications
These certified sealing kits are purpose-built for exposed fastening positions on cleanrooms, process machinery, and washdown housings:
- Food, Beverage & Dairy Processing: Exposed structural bolts on open-frame process gear, product sorting lines, and packaging machinery covers.
- Pharmaceutical & Chemical Production: Cleanroom enclosure panels, sterile laboratory cabinets, and chemical mixing vessel frames.
- Sanitary Machinery Fabrication: Capping dangerous exposed threads on stainless steel guards, removable machine covers, and washdown assemblies.
