ABSTRACT:
A versatile plastic cap assembly for plugging and/or protecting fittings comprising a joined pair of capping members, one of such capping members being adapted for snap fit onto a male fitting, and the other being adapted for snap fit onto a female fitting. The capping members are initially joined together with an easily breakable connector so as to retain them in pairs until put into use, at which time the two capping members may easily be separated as, for example by pulling or twisting. The invention also includes a method of retaining identification of and temporarily protecting ends of components adapted for connection or re-connection while the ends are disengaged.
