Zusammenfassung:	A connector for joining a bowl guard to the housing of a fluid control component which is very simple to use and which permits the use of easily fabricated parts is disclosed. The fluid control component includes a housing with a depending flange to which a plastic or glass bowl is attached, the flange having a peripheral groove therein. The bowl guard has a peripheral lip with a groove that is alignable with the groove of the housing to form an annular recess when the lip of the bowl guard is placed over the flange of the housing in telescopic relationship. A flexible resilient elongated connector, such as a coil spring, having a cross-sectional area substantially corresponding to that of the annular recess is insertable through a notch in the lip into the annular recess and the protrusions of the coil spring are engageable with transverse ribs in the housing groove to hold the connector upon rotation of the bowl guard with respect to the housing. The groove of the bowl guard moves longitudinally therealong until the connector is enclosed within the annular recess after approximately one revolution of the bowl guard to prevent separation of the bowl guard from the housing due to shear forces.
