The control assembly includes a selector having a secondary orifice, the selector moveable relative to the primary orifi between a plurality of positions, the primary orifi and the secondary orifice arrangeable relative to one another to permit the secondary orifice to be in flow communication with a selected one of the primary orifi. The control assembly further blocks the remaining primary orifi when the secondary orifice is aligned with the selected one of the primary orifi.
