Abstract
An improved electrical switch nut and boot seal assembly is provided having a stainless steel or aluminum nut and flexible boot to provide an exemplary fluid seal between an electrical switch and the electrical switch nut and boot seal device. The electrical switch may be a toggle switch or push button type circuit breaker or any other type electrical switch device where the advantages of the present invention make themselves useful such as may exist on any control panel of a recreational vehicle (i.e., boat, snowmobile, or other type land or water craft). A key feature of the invention is that the nut and flexible boot are separate pieces that can be mixed and matched to change the outer shape and/or colors of the various nuts and/or flexible boots. The fluid and moisture seal is provided by capturing a flange of the flexible boot between various inner surfaces of the nut and electrical switch.
