Abstract:
A sealant containment assembly for enclosing fasteners disposed within a confined space. The sealant containment assembly includes a first containment member and a second containment member that extend between two surfaces. The first and second containment members each include structure-engaging ends for engaging a structural member and the first and second containment members each include enclosure ends that connect the first and second containment members together to enclose the fasteners within a confined space defined by the first and second containment members, the first and second surfaces, the structural member and the connected enclosure ends. The assembly also includes at least one injection port disposed outside of the confined space but is in communication with at least one distribution port disposed inside the confined space for filling the confined space with sealant, thereby embedding the fasteners in sealant.
