The outlet passage includes a counterbore having a cylindrical bushing received therein, the deflector has a cylindrical extension received within the passage of the cylindrical bushing and the outlet end of the outlet tube is received within the passage of the cylindrical extension of the deflector and the cylindrical bushing is crimped to create a mechanical lock. In an alternate embodiment, the outlet end of the outlet tube includes knurling thereon and is located in the passage of the cylindrical extension of the thermoplastic deflector and the thermoplastic deflector is melted into the knurling during the welding of the can to the puck. In a further alternate embodiment, the outlet end of the outlet passage includes a radial channel located at the crimp of the connection to create a stronger mechanical lock between the cylindrical bushing, the deflector and the outlet tube.
