Claim 10:
11. A method of assembling an equipment mounting system, said method comprising:
obtaining a mounting plate having defined therein a plate aperture of a particular shape;
obtaining a bolt comprising:
a head portion including an underside region, and wherein said underside region has defined therein a sealing groove that is designed to receive a sealing ring;
a shaft portion that connects to said head portion, and said shaft portion has a threaded portion and a non-threaded portion that is of a complementary shape to said particular shape of said plate aperture;

obtaining a washer having defined therein a scored aperture having multiple radially extending scorings and multiple engaging portions, each engaging portion being defined between two radially extending scorings;
installing a sealing ring inside said sealing groove to form a sealing bolt;
inserting said sealing bolt through said plate aperture such that said sealing ring contacts a first surf ace of said mounting plate and said plate aperture receives and engages with said complementary shape of said bolt to prevent rotational displacement of said sealing bolt around said mounting plate;
engaging said scored aperture with said shaft portion of said sealing bolt; and
applying a force to said washer until said head portion of said bolt contacts said mounting plate to prevent translational displacement of said sealing bolt relative to said mounting plate and compress said sealing ring against said first surface of said mounting plate.
