The present disclosure relate to coupling components including valve structures and methods for forming the valve structures. The method includes attaching together a male valve piece (52) and a female valve piece (54) to form a valve structure that extends along a longitudinal axis. The method includes inserting the male (52) and female (54) valve pieces axially together. The method also includes using a swaging tool (200) to inelastically deform at least one of the male and female valve pieces from an insertion configuration to a locking configuration in which relative axial movement between the male and female valve pieces is prevented.
