The first protrusion is spaced from the second protrusion along the axis. The composite valve body has a connecting bridge integral with and extending between the first and second protrusions. The connecting bridge has a first connecting side and a second connecting side spaced from the first connecting side, with the axis, the first connecting side, and the second connecting side defining a central angle between 5 and 45 degrees.
