An orifice holder assembly provides a boss connected by at least one arm to a base having an outlet therethrough. The boss is provided below the outlet. A tube is inserted through the boss until a bead contacts a first boss surface and the tube end is then deflected to form a lip where the lip and the bead connects the tube to the boss. An orifice body is then inserted in the tube end.

Orifice holder construction

A valve assembly provides a holder cantileveredly attached to a boss on an end cap to axially dispose an actuator and a poppet on an axis with a valve seat formed in the end cap. The actuator is preferably a shape memory alloy actuator. The end cap may be placed in line with a fluid system such as in a gas oven so that an electrical communication with an igniter is provided.
