The housing may define an internal cavity and may include a body section having a first port and one or more internal contact tabs and a base section having a valve mount and a second port. The compressible valve may be disposed within at least a portion of the internal cavity and be movably retained within the housing. The compressible valve may include a flange portion for securing the compressible valve within the housing. A central longitudinal axis of the housing may be defined by a coaxial arrangement of the first and second port. The one or more internal contact tabs may be arranged to contact an outer side surface of the flange portion such that a radial force substantially orthogonal to the central longitudinal axis is provided for securement.100-,.-x 5014_PD4-1 D - 1 14A 414 - -- 131 ==2AA ------------------- D~ D4- D34D4 / D4-13 D - 13 8 --- -- - - --- D 13 ,10 1'82 --- 18 180B-
