ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates generally to a device for controlling fluid flow. The device includes a housing having a front end and a back end. The housing defines a flow passageway extending longitudinally between the front and back ends. A first retaining structure is connected to the housing and positioned within the flow passageway. The device also includes a valve mechanism for opening and closing the flow passageway of the housing. The valve mechanism includes a poppet member mounted within the flow passageway. The poppet member includes a first end opposite from a second end. The first end includes a second retaining structure that cooperates with the first retaining structure of the housing to provide a snap fit connection for retaining the poppet member within the housing.
