First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A protective cap assembly for hydraulic ports of a component comprising: a plurality of caps, each cap of the plurality of caps installable over a hydraulic port of the component; and a web interconnecting the plurality of caps, wherein the web is pretensioned prior to installation of the cap assembly on the plurality of hydraulic ports. 2. The cap assembly of claim 1 , wherein the web comprises a plurality of interconnected web arms extending between the caps of the plurality of caps. 3. The cap assembly of claim 2 , wherein the plurality of web arms comprises a plurality of tubular members. 4. The cap assembly of claim 1 , wherein the cap assembly is formed from a rubber material. 5. The cap assembly of claim 1 , wherein a distance between caps of the cap assembly is less than a distance between corresponding hydraulic ports of the component. 6. The cap assembly of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of caps each have an outer surface configured to prevent installation of a mating component to the hydraulic ports prior to removal of the cap assembly. 7. The cap assembly of claim 1 , wherein a cap inner diameter is substantially equal to a corresponding hydraulic port outer diameter. 8. The cap assembly of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of caps are each configured to prevent ingress of contaminants into the corresponding hydraulic port. 9. A hydraulic system component comprising: a plurality of hydraulic ports configured for a fluid flow therethrough; and a protective cap assembly for the plurality of hydraulic ports including: a plurality of caps, each cap of the plurality of caps configured to be installed over a hydraulic port of the component; and a web interconnecting the plurality of caps, wherein the web is pretensioned prior to installation of the cap assembly onto the plurality of hydraulic ports. 10. The hydraulic system component of claim 9 , wherein the web comprises a plurality of interconnected web arms extending between the caps of the plurality of caps. 11. The hydraulic system component of claim 10 , wherein the plurality of web arms comprises a plurality of tubular members. 12. The hydraulic system component of claim 9 , wherein the cap assembly is formed from an elastomeric material. 13. The hydraulic system component of claim 9 , wherein prior to the installation of the cap assembly a distance between caps of the cap assembly is less than a distance between corresponding hydraulic ports of the component. 14. The hydraulic system component of claim 9 , wherein the plurality of caps each have an outer surface configured to prevent installation of a mating component to the hydraulic ports prior to removal of the cap assembly. 15. The hydraulic system component of claim 9 , wherein a cap inner diameter is substantially equal to a corresponding hydraulic port outer diameter.
