Abstract
A method of assembling a solenoid valve assembly is provided. The method includes supporting a shoulder of a valve housing against a flange of a metal ring. The method includes inserting at least one axially extending post of the metal ring through at least one slot of a mounting tab. The method includes deforming the at least one axially extending post of the metal ring to clamp the valve housing between the metal ring and the mounting tab, with the metal ring, the valve housing, and the mounting tab being captively secured with each other. The method includes positioning the mounting tab at least partially within an opening at an axial end of a solenoid housing. The method includes bending or otherwise deforming the outer wall at the axial end of the solenoid housing to retain the solenoid housing to the mounting tab, the metal ring, and the valve housing.
