Abstract:
A support assembly () is disclosed. The support assembly () comprises a mounting bracket () and a coupling component (). The mounting bracket () comprises a first material and has an engagement surface () defining a void () along a first axis (). The coupling component () comprises a second material, which is different than the first material. The coupling component () has a first end (), a second end (), and an intermediate portion (). The intermediate portion () extends through, and partially fills, the void () defined by the mounting bracket (). The intermediate portion () defines a fluid passageway () about the first axis () within the void () and also presents a locking surface (). The locking surface () abuts the engagement surface () to prevent rotation of the coupling component () with respect to the mounting bracket ().
