Abstract
A valve assembly including a fastener-less subcomponent. Installation of the subcomponent is simplified as compared to cover plates utilizing fasteners, while still providing suitable performance. In addition, the fastener-less subcomponent is not readily disassembled with common tools thereby discouraging tampering. The subcomponent includes bayonet style features for interlocking with structure of a valve housing to lock the subcomponent in position.
