Zusammenfassung:	A fluid delivery apparatus (10) includes a collet assembly (12) having an upper and lower wall (30, 34) attached at a central portion (32) of the collet (22). The central portion (32) defines an inner step (42), and the lower wall (34) includes circumferentially-spaced flexible tabs (48). The fluid delivery apparatus (10) also includes a fluid distribution assembly (14) coupled to the collet assembly (12). The fluid distribution assembly (14) is positionable relative to the collet (22) between a pre-use configuration and a pre-activated configuration. The fluid distribution assembly (14) has a plenum (16) that includes a sleeve component (100) having an exterior ledge (142) extending thereabout. A lower wall portion (112) of the sleeve component (100) includes protrusions (146) corresponding to the flexible tabs (148) of the collet (22). In the pre-use configuration the exterior ledge (142) of the sleeve component (100) is engaged with the inner step (42) of the collet assembly (12), and each flexible tab (48) engages a respective protrusion (146) to provide a snap-fit between the fluid distribution assembly (14) and the collet assembly (12).
