Abstract
A safety cap which functions as a protective and sanitary seal for covering valves or quick disconnect coupling plugs of the type which are used on beverage tank dispensers and which may only be removed by destruction of the cap so as to provide a positive indication of tampering wherein the cap includes an upper body portion which is securely engagable over the valve and completely covers it and a lower skirt portion which is attached thereto by both an integral tear strip and a plurality of spaced frangible connecting elements so that removal of the cap requires a destruction of the frangible elements and a subsequent severing of the tear strip.
