A sealing member engages an opposite surface of the body member and includes a projecting neck portion which extends into the eccentric opening in the body member and has an opposite end which engages the valve member. The valve member is rotatable about the axis of the housing and has a non-concentric aperture movable upon rotation of the valve member into and out of registry with a non-concentric opening in the sealing member neck portion.
