Abstract
A housing (10) comprises a first housing member (12) having a rib (14) about a substantial portion of the periphery of the first housing member, the rib being on at least two planes (22 and 24). A second housing member (30) having protrusions (32) on portions of the second housing member guides an O-ring (17) towards portions of the rib about the periphery of the first housing member. The O-ring placed on the rib of the first housing member aides in forming a radial seal when the second housing member is coupled to the first housing member.
