Abstract
An assemblyincludes a coupling memberhaving a first annular, radial connection flangeand a blanking capcomprising a disc-like memberwhich defines a second, corresponding annular, radial connection flange. The connecting flanges are clamped together by a clamp () with a seal memberin-between. The blanking cap comprises a pair of safety lugsattached to the disc-like member which each extend about an outer circumferential periphery of the first connection flange. Each safety lug has an abutmentfor engagement with the first connection flange to limit axial movement of the disc-like member away from the coupling member. The lugsprevent the blanking cap from flying off in the event the clamp is released whilst the interior of the coupling member is pressurised. The lugsmay each have a stop memberwhich defines the abutment and which may take the form of an elongate curved member extending circumferentially about an axis of the connection flanges. The clamp may be tri-clamp.
