said single internal media channel sharing a first linear axis with said handle barrel;
a cleaning media diverter plug having a circular proximal end forming a circular sealing flange with an engagement stub extending therefrom, and a semi-circular distal end with a media bore formed there between said ends, said media bore having a second linear axis, and wherein said media bore is in fluid communication with said single internal media channel of said handle barrel when said engagement stub is frictionally engaged in said media outlet end of said handle barrel and said circular sealing flange abuts said media outlet end,
