1. A dispensing assembly for an aerosol system for dispensing liquid material, comprising:

  • a base member defining an alignment groove;

    an actuator member defining a plurality of finger portions;

    an outlet member defining an outlet opening;

    a selector member defining a flange portion and a selector threaded portion;

    a collar member defining an opening surface and a collar threaded portion;

    whereinthe outlet member is arranged within the plurality of finger portions such that the actuator member and the outlet member define a dispensing path in fluid communication with the outlet opening;

    the collar member engages the actuator member such that the opening surface is adjacent to the finger portions;

    the selector threaded portion engages the collar threaded portion; and

    the flange portion of the selector is arranged within at least a portion of the alignment groove; and

    angular rotation of the selector member relative to the collar member displaces the collar member to deform the outlet member and thus alter a cross-sectional area of the outlet opening.
