The coupling nut and the biasing means are retained externally on the tubular body by the retaining ring with the coupling nut being movable along the outside surface of the body and axially displaced by the biasing means. The body includes a ring attachment portion on the outside surface thereof. The ring attachment portion includes an annular groove and an annular ridge which are formed on the outside surface thereof. The annular groove is sized and dimensioned for receiving a radially applied retaining ring.
