Good point. I don't know about the hermeticity of a screw, sounds questionable. It's possible the designers were kidding themselves. I know that I debunked a lot of their theories about what is or is not hermetic. For example, "hermetic" epoxy isn't. Possibly there is a Viton O ring around the screw. I think that might be hermetic.
