A first seat may be disposed within the body proximate the first end, while a plug may include a stop, a collar, and a first trunk disposed between the stop and the collar. The collar and the first trunk may be disposed in the body while an adapter may include a second seat, a head, and a second trunk disposed between the second seat and the head. The second seat and the second trunk may be disposed in the plug with a chamber, fluidly communicable with the adapter and the first at least one radial passage, being defined in the first trunk of the plug. An actuator may be slidably disposed in the chamber, and be in operative association with a biasing member. A poppet may be in operative association with the biasing member and the first seat.
