Abstract: A cap system for enclosing a metallic fastener assembly extending through a structure, which includes a first securement mechanism positioned about a periphery of a washer of the metallic fastener assembly wherein the first securement mechanism includes a first tab member extending in a direction transverse to a plane of a surface of the washer and a second tab member extending in a direction transverse to the plane of the surface of the washer spaced apart from the first tab member about the periphery of the washer. Cap system further includes a cap member which includes a sidewall having an inner surface which defines a cavity dimensioned to receive the washer and defines a second securement mechanism complementary configured to engage the first securement mechanism; and an end of the sidewall of the cap member defines an opening which provides the washer to have access into the cavity.

Abstract: A cap assembly for enclosing an end portion of a bolt fastener includes a first cap member which includes a bore and a surface positioned within the bore which defines first threads and the first cap member also includes an external surface which defines second threads. A second cap member includes a sidewall which defines a receptacle with an opening which provides access to an interior of the receptacle and the sidewall includes an interior surface which defines third threads compatibly configured to engage the second threads. The third threads are positioned along the interior surface of the receptacle extending along a length of the receptacle a first distance and the second threads are positioned along the external surface of the first cap member extending along a length of the external surface a second distance wherein the first distance is greater than the second distance.
