Integrally formed with the retaining ring is a projecting portion so that a valve assembly can be force fitted into the container so that the projecting portion holds the tube and valve assembly in place. The valve assembly is integrally formed with annularly spaced cam members which are lockingly engaged by the projecting portion.
