Abstract: An assembly includes a pressure vessel for containing a fluid, the vessel including a domed end portion having an outer surface; and a component positioned at the domed end portion, wherein the component is attached to the outer surface by a plurality of filament bands wound upon the domed end portion and over at least a part of the component. In another aspect, an apparatus is described for preventing damage to a vessel. The apparatus includes a component configured to be positioned at the domed end portion, wherein the component is configured to be attached to the outer surface by a plurality of filament bands wound upon the domed end portion and over at least a part of the component. A method for attaching a component to a vessel is described that includes positioning the component at the domed end portion and winding a plurality of filament bands.
