A coupler assembly for a portable washing machine which includes an improved method of assembling and retaining the faucet locking means between the coupler body and the retaining ring. The coupler body supports locking means in pockets between the retaining ring and the body. The retaining ring includes a plurality of inwardly extending segmental shoulders which define recesses therebetween. The retaining ring is assembled onto the coupler body by aligning the recesses with the locking means and sliding the ring onto the body. The retaining ring is then locked by rotating the ring to snap a leg portion into a detent slot in the body. The locking rotation moves the segmental shoulders into alignment with the locking means to prevent movement of the ring from the coupler body.
