The fitting further comprises a plug having a head portion and a shank portion attached to the head portion with the shank portion having external threads. The method of installing the close out fitting comprises the steps of forming a port through the structural elements, countersinking both ends of the port, providing a hollow sleeve having a flared first end and flarable second end and internal threads therebetween, installing the sleeve in the port such that the flared first end is in contact with one of the countersink ends of the port and the flarable second end extends into the other countersink end of the port, flaring the second end of the sleeve into contact with the other countersink end of the port locking the sleeve into the port, providing a plug having a head and a shank with the shank having external threads thereon, and installing the plug into the sleeve.
