Solenoid operated fluid control valve is connected to a housing of fluid circuit by a twist-on, fluid tight connection between the housing and a solenoid assembly of the fluid control valve. The solenoid assembly has an armature movable in response to electrical current to a wire coil wound on a bobbin in a solenoid housing for controlling position of a movable valve located in a valve body thereof. The control valve includes a valve-receiving nozzle or body with compressible annular fluid seal on a region thereof that is received within the fluid circuit housing. The solenoid bobbin includes a plurality of connection tabs spaced peripherally apart and adapted to be initially received in entrances to an arcuate groove on the fluid circuit housing. The solenoid assembly is adapted to be connected to the fluid circuit housing by inserting the valve-receiving nozzle or body therein in a manner to radially fluid tight compress the fluid seal with the connection tabs received in the entrances to the groove and then by turning or rotating the fluid control valve to angularly displace the tabs in the groove to axially confined positions therein to hold the fluid control valve in the fluid bore when fluid pressure is present therein.

1. Combination of a housing having a fluid bore for receiving fluid pressure, groove-forming walls disposed on said housing, a valve in said bore, and a solenoid assembly on said housing and having an armature for controlling said valve and movable in response to energization of a solenoid coil, said solenoid assembly having a plurality of connection tabs, said solenoid assembly being connected to said housing by said connection tabs that are moved through respective entrances into respective groove portions formed between said walls and angularly displaced away from said entrances so as to be confined between said walls when fluid pressure is present in said fluid bore.
