Abstract:
1. A system for restricting flow of a material, comprising: at least one tube; a male coupling, comprising: a male coupling fluid channel formed therein to allow a first material to flow therethrough, a flange member, and an insert member including a primary sealing surface, a secondary sealing surface, and an intermediate member extending between the flange member and the secondary sealing surface; a female coupling, comprising a female coupling fluid channel formed therein to allow a second material to flow therethrough, and a seal member formed within a lead-in receptacle; and a combination cap and plug assembly, comprising: a main body including first and second ends and first and second sides; a tether member positioned at the first end, the tether member defining an opening sized to receive the at least one tube; a cap portion positioned adjacent the second end and extending from the first side of the main body, the cap portion defining an opening sized to receive a portion of the male coupling and configured to restrict flow of the first material through the male coupling fluid channel; and a plug portion positioned adjacent the second end and extending from the second side of the main body, the plug portion including a body sized to be at least partially inserted into the female coupling and configured to restrict flow of the second material through the female coupling fluid channel.
