A valve for metering highly pressurized fluid, having an inlet connector that can be placed into a connection socket of a fluid supply line, and a sealing assembly situated on the inlet connector, the sealing assembly having an elastically deformable sealing ring and a support ring made of plastic, which sealing assembly is supported on a radial support shoulder present on the inlet connector and seals against the connection socket. To prevent radial gaps between the support ring on the one hand and the inlet connector and/or the connection socket on the other hand, into which gaps the sealing ring extrudes under high pressure and becomes damaged, the support ring situated between the sealing ring and the support shoulder is made of an elastically deformable plastic material.

Valve for the metering of highly pressurized fluid

A method for installing a sealing ring in a ring groove of an injector, in particular a fuel injector, in which the diameter of the sealing ring is enlarged with the aid of an enlarging tool and is inserted into the ring groove, and the enlarged sealing ring accommodated in the ring groove is reshaped to a predefined sealing dimension with the aid of a calibration tool. For the purpose of shifting a residual ring gap remaining in the ring groove during the reshaping process to the groove flank of the ring groove facing away from the combustion chamber, the reshaping process of the sealing ring is carried out by removing the calibration tool from the fuel injector.
