TOGGLE SWITCH SEALING BOOTS WITH

INTEGRAL IQ™ MOUNTING NUT

• Ideal protection against unforgiving environmental hazards — prolongs switch reliability

• Ideal for speedy retrofitting of booted and non-booted switches

• Ideal for easy original equipment assembling

• Ideal for meeting aesthetic requirements that call for smooth

exterior surface around mounting nut

• Ideal color solutions for matching boot color to exact panel

color, or for defining specific control function on request.

Standard color choices are gray and black.

• Patent No. 7,964,812 … made in the USA

The APM HEXSEAL IQ Switch Sealing Boot is designed for applications where it

is preferable to retain the original switch’s front-panel mounting nut. This version

is made possible by the incorporation of a newly designed bonded concentric

mounting nut that features an internal cavity configuration allowing the integral

CONCENTRO-NUT to sit on and wrap itself around the existing original switch

front panel nut. This enables the two nuts to work in concert when tightened. The

IQ Switch Sealing Boot mounting design permits an easy and speedy retrofit, or

new OEM installation. The use of the IQ Sealing Boot prevents any switch distur-

bance; for example, the undesirable rotation of the

switch body and possible stress on its connections.

No special tools or O-Rings, washers or adhesives

are required. The IQ Switch Sealing Boot design

also features a patented flange sealing-rib that

fully contacts the front-panel surface, creating a

vacuum seal that protects the mounting hole from

gas or liquid seepage contamination. In addition to

standard black or gray, any color can be specified

to match any panel or to define a control function.
