Abstract
In process of threadably fitting a metal shell having a surface formed with an Ni plated layer into a mounting hole, in a state where a gasket made of stainless steel is uncompressed while being interposed between a protrusion part and an opening periphery, a surface of the gasket is out of contact with another surface thereof. When the gasket is viewed on a cross section in a direction of an axial line O, the gasket contacts with the protrusion part at one point of a point X, the gasket contacts with the opening periphery flat one point of a point Y, and the point Y is located outside of the point X in a radial direction. Further, the point Y is located inside of a maximum outer diameter Dz of a seating surface of the protrusion part in the radial direction.
