Abstract
A capping system for a container having a valve stem, comprising: a flexible tether having a first end region, a second end region, and a central region between the first and second end regions. A first connector is located at the first end region for attaching the tethered capping system to the container. A first cap is located in one of the central and second end regions and sized to frictionally fit over the valve stem. The other of the central and second end regions has a second connector for attaching a second cap to the tether. The second cap may be a threaded pressure cap for correspondingly engaging threads located on the valve stem. In alternative embodiments, the first connector can be located in the central region, and the first cap and second connector for the second cap are located in the first and second end regions.
