A flexible fastener captivator includes a flange comprising an orifice configured to enable a fastener to pass through and an adhesive, and a flexible cap coupled with the flange and configured to provide operational access to a fastener encapsulated within the cap, where the cap includes a retaining structure configured to hold a separate fastener within the cap. The retaining structure may be configured as a plurality of flexible ledges extending from an inner surface of the cap and having a planar surface configured to support a head of a separate fastener, such as a standard off-the-shelf screw or bolt. Such a captivator can be dimensioned commensurate with the fastener type and size for which its use is intended, and/or captivator strips may be constructed in Rack Units of length.

The phase-change accommodating rigid fluid container disclosed herein includes a variety of features that protect the container from phase changes of a fluid stored therein. As a result, the container may be in direct contact with the fluid without any flexible membrane or bag there between. For example, the fluid container may include one or more of matched pairs of recesses for physical manipulation of the container, stiffening ribs extending between the recesses, and input/output assemblies acting as inputs for fluid into the container, outputs of fluid from the container, and vents for pressure equalization of the container.
