The assembly also includes a substantially cylindrical body having an axis. A flared flange extends radially outwardly from the cylindrical body. A retaining clip extends from the flared flange. The band clamp is secured to the conduit such that the flared flange of the conduit is positioned within the band, and the retaining clip of the conduit is secured to the band.
