A damper including a pressure tube, a reserve tube, an intermediate tube positioned between the pressure and reserve tubes, and one or more external control valves. A piston divides the pressure tube into first and second working chambers. A control valve seat provides a connection interface for the external control valve(s). The control valve seat includes a neck portion and a flange portion with a pair of cut-outs that are circumferentially spaced from one another to define first and second windows that are arranged in fluid communication with a reserve tube opening and first and second wings that extend out from the neck portion and sit/rest against the reserve tube.
