Abstract
A spark containment cap forms a sealed cavity around an end of a fastener protruding from a structure. The cap has a cap body defining an air cavity enclosing the end of the fastener. The cap body includes an annular base () terminating at a base rim () surrounding an opening into the air cavity. An annular skirt of the cap provides an annular sealing volume extending around the base rim to receive an annular bead of a curable sealing material around the opening into the cavity to provide a seal between the cap body and the structure to seal a volume of gas within the cavity. The cap body includes a cap upper to receive the end of the fastener. The cap upper () is positionable so that an axis of the cap upper is offset from an axis of the annular skirt ().
