A system comprising:
- a fusible cap comprising a fusible body having a first box end, wherein the first box end has first box threads;
- an adapter comprising a first pin end and a second box end, wherein the first pin end has first pin threads, and the second box end has second box threads;
- and
- a hydraulic valve comprising a second pin end having second pin threads,
- wherein the first box threads mate with the first pin threads to form a first connection and the second box threads mate with the second pin threads to form a second connection,
- wherein the fusible cap and the hydraulic valve are incompatible, and the adapter is configured to form an overall connection between the two incompatible components, and
- wherein the first box threads laterally extend from the first box end to a lateral end opposite the first box end of the fusible cap.
