Abstract:
A fastener may include a shaft and a head. The shaft may have first and second opposing ends and a first surface having a first diameter. The head may be attached to the first opposing end of the shaft. The head may have a second surface comprising a second diameter which is larger than the first diameter. The head may have a third surface extending between the second surface and the first surface. The third surface may be defined by a relief slot extending from the second surface to at least one of near and to the first surface. The relief slot may be for providing a relief path to reduce pressure during installation, using a viscous compound, of the fastener to a member.
