Abstract
A containment cap assembly for enclosing a metallic fastener extending through a structure includes an inner cap with a projection extending from an outer surface of the inner cap and an outer cap includes a first end which defines an opening and includes an inner surface which defines a first space within the outer cap in communication with the opening. A dimension of the opening and of the first space defined by the inner surface of the outer cap are each greater than a dimension defined by the outer surface of the inner cap such that with positioning the inner cap within the outer cap, a second space is defined between the outer cap and the inner cap. A slot of the outer cap extends first curvilinear direction such that the projection positioned within the slot moves along first curvilinear direction with moving the inner cap into the outer cap.
