<p>A method of assembling selected modular ratchet cap assemblies. In one aspect, the method includes the acts of providing identical threaded portions (32), providing identical cover portions (36), providing a first vent module, providing a second vent module different from the first vent module, selecting the first vent module and coupling together the first vent module with one of the identical threaded portions (32) and one of the identical cover portions (36) to form a first cap assembly, and selecting the second vent module and coupling together the second vent module with another one of the identical threaded portions (32) and another one of the identical cover portions (36) to form a second cap assembly. In other aspects, the method includes assembling first and second cap assemblies with identical cover portions (36) and threaded portions (32), but having different pawl members (40) providing different cap-installing torque limits. In other aspects, the method includes providing first and second cap assemblies with similar components, but having covers or portions thereof provided with different individualized characteristics for different applications.</p> |
