Melt both ends to keep
cord from unreaveling
Knot it
Use 10-in
nylon cord
Tie it
Cover, NSN 8465-00-860-0256
If the flip-up cover
on the chemical pro-
tective cap’s drinking
tube valve breaks off,
make a quick fix.
Use a 10-in piece of nylon cord, such
as NSN 4020-00-262-2019. Cut the
broken strap off the canteen cap. Drill
a
1
/
8
-in hole about a
1
/
4
inch from the
broken edge of the strap that’s left on
the flip-up cover. Run the cord through
the hole, and knot it. Tie the other end
around the cap strap. Use a
match or lighter to melt both
knots. That will keep the knots
from unraveling.
1-qt plastic canteen suffering
from lost parts is not necessarily a can-
didate for the trash can. There is no
TM for it, but you can get replacement
parts. Here’s what’s available:
