A control valve includes a metal insert extending along an axis and presenting an interior insert surface defining a fluid passage. The control valve also includes a valve member slidably disposed in the fluid passage, and a composite valve body. The composite valve body has a first and second protrusion disposed about the axis. The first protrusion is spaced from the second protrusion along the axis. The composite valve body has a connecting bridge integral with and extending between the first and second protrusions. The connecting bridge has a first connecting side and a second connecting side spaced from the first connecting side, with the axis, the first connecting side, and the second connecting side defining a central angle between 5 and 45 degrees.
