The mounting mechanism is a bayonet locking mechanism with a first part 110 located on the valve support and a second part 20a, 20b, 20c located on the valve cover; the two parts being configured to engage in a locked configuration when the cover is rotated, in use, relative to the support from an unlocked configuration. |
