End cap assembly

Abstract

Various embodiments of the invention provide an end cap assembly for housing a marker. The end cap assembly includes a protrusion capable of housing and securing a marker in close proximity to the end section of the conduit. The end cap assembly may be used to seal an end section of conduits of various diameters or sizes. One or more tabs on the end cap assembly are flexible, but provide resistance to movement and act as mechanical stops to secure the marker and provide resistance to prevent the marker from escaping the cap housing.

1 . An end cap for housing a marker, the end cap comprising:
 a. at least one concentric ring, wherein the at least one concentric ring is capable of being fitted to an end section of a conduit; and   b. at least one protrusion capable of housing a marker.   
   
   
       2 . The end cap of  claim 1 , wherein the protrusion is in close proximity to the end section of the conduit. 
   
   
       3 . The end cap of  claim 1 , wherein the marker is removable from the end cap. 
   
   
       4 . The end cap of  claim 1 , wherein the at least one concentric ring is capable of being fitted against the inside diameter or the outside diameter of the conduit. 
   
   
       5 . The end cap of  claim 1 , wherein the outside diameter of the conduit is between about 0.02 meters and about 0.3 meters. 
   
   
       6 . The end cap of  claim 1 , wherein the outside diameter of the at least one concentric ring is between about 0.02 meters and about 0.3 meters. 
   
   
       7 . The end cap of  claim 1 , wherein the end cap is removable. 
   
   
       8 . The end cap of  claim 1 , further comprising one or more tabs, the one or more tabs securing the marker in the protrusion. 
   
   
       9 . The end cap of  claim 1 , further comprising at least one attachment point for a pull-tape.
