Fluid coupling cap
A cap for a fluid coupling is provided that includes a stem member adapted for insertion into the fluid coupling and a cover member connected to the stem member. The cover member includes an internal cavity sized to receive the fluid coupling such that the fluid coupling is positioned between the stem member and the cover member. The internal cavity is defined by a wall having at least one of a longitudinally extending groove and a longitudinally extending protrusion.
1. A fluid coupling assembly, comprising:
a fluid coupling;
a cap including a stem member adapted for insertion into the fluid coupling and a cover member connected to the stem member, the cover member including an internal cavity sized to receive the fluid coupling such that the fluid coupling is positioned between the stem member and the cover member, the internal cavity defined by a wall having at least one of a longitudinally extending groove and a longitudinally extending projection; and
a tethering member adapted to secure the cap to the fluid coupling, wherein the stem member includes an opening adjacent a distal end thereof and wherein a duct is positioned to provide the opening in fluid communication with an exterior of the stem member controlling venting of trapped fluid pressure when the stem member is being removed from the fluid coupling.
2. A fluid coupling assembly, comprising:
a fluid coupling;
a cap including a stem member adapted for insertion into the fluid coupling and a cover member connected to the stem member, the cover member including an internal cavity sized to receive the fluid coupling such that the fluid coupling is positioned between the stem member and the cover member, the internal cavity defined by a wall having at least one of a longitudinally extending groove and a longitudinally extending projection; and
a tethering member adapted to secure the cap to the fluid coupling, wherein the stem member includes first and second flanges received within corresponding recesses in the cover member to secure the cover member to the stem member.
