Abstract
The vent hose cap includes a base and a head. The base includes cylindrical walls and partially cylindrical interior skirt sections. The interior of the skirt sections form an aperture for receiving a vent hose, while the space defined between the cylindrical walls and the skirt sections, including the gaps between the skirt sections, define a longitudinal gas passageway. Radial slots formed in the base provide gas communication from the interior of the gas vent hose to the longitudinal gas passageway. The cap includes a barbed shaft with an H-shaped cross-section for insertion into the base and through the interior of the vent hose.
