1. A mounting cup for a valve that dispenses flowable product from an opening in a container body under pressure, the mounting cup comprising:
an annular inner wall having upper and lower ends, the annular inner wall defining a central axis of the mounting cup, the annular inner wall being configured to be received in the opening of the container body;
a base extending radially inward from the inner wall toward the central axis of the mounting cup;
a continuous retaining ring radially spaced apart from and opposing the annular inner wall; and
a plurality of detents on the continuous retaining ring and extending radially inward toward the annular inner wall, the detents configured to engage a lip of the container body when the annular inner wall is received in the opening of the container body to secure the mounting cup to the container body,
wherein the annular inner wall, the base, the continuous retaining ring, and the plurality of detents are integrally formed as a single, one-piece component,
wherein the annular inner wall is configured to bow radially outward under pressure and push against the interior surface of the container body to form a leak proof seal between the mounting cup and the container body.
