Abstract

A tamper-evident cap structure cooperates with a one-way, anti-disconnect strap so that the cap can be screwed onto or secured to the service port of an air-conditioning system, and the anti-disconnect strap can be then looped around both the cap and the refrigerant flow pipe supporting the service port. The anti-disconnect strap can form a permanent part of the cap, or it can be removably secured to the cap; in either case unauthorized entry is indicated by the need to break or sever the strap. Also provided with the anti-disconnect strap is an identity tag upon which the identity of the service organization and date of service can be recorded when a new cap-and-strap assembly is used.
