Yes it is.
The locking cap is the same as the normal one supplied by the factory
except that when the sprung lever is lifted it uncovers a small barrel
lock. If this is locked it prevents the lever from being turned to line up
the lugs and release the cap, but if it is not locked the cap functions
just as the normal one does.
