Claim 0:
1. A flow limiter component comprising:
a monocoque body having a first section, a second section, and a third section arranged along a longitudinal axis of the monocoque body;
the first section comprising:
a first end defining a first edge of the monocoque body and a second end bordering the second section; and
a first inner diameter relative to the longitudinal axis, the first inner diameter defining a first chamber inside the first section;

the second section comprising:
a solid wall;
wherein an orifice is disposed in the solid wall, in fluid communication with the first chamber, and
wherein the orifice is defined by a second inner diameter relative to the longitudinal axis;

the third section comprising:
a third end bordering the second section and a fourth end defining a second edge of the monocoque body;
a third inner diameter relative to the longitudinal axis, the third inner diameter defining a second chamber in the third section,
wherein the second chamber is in fluid communication with the orifice, and
wherein the first inner diameter is greater than the third inner diameter, and the third inner diameter is greater than the second inner diameter;

a cut-out defined in the third section, proximate the fourth end, wherein the cut-out is further defined between the second chamber and a flange of the fourth end of the third section, wherein the flange forms at least a part of an outer edge of the third section, and wherein the cut-out has a cut-out diameter greater than the third inner diameter; and
a strainer disposed in the cut-out and having a strainer diameter that is larger than the third inner diameter but smaller than or equal to the cut-out diameter, wherein the strainer and the solid wall further define borders of the second chamber, and wherein the flange retains the strainer.
