Abstract
A valve with a small construction space. The valve has a valve element, arranged in a valve housing, and a manual activation device which has an activation element which is arranged movably in a recess of the valve housing and which is actively connected to the valve element for the manual activation of the valve element. The activation element is securely retained in the recess of the valve housing by a rigid projection and a stop region which co-operates with the projection. The rigid projection is radially projected and integrally formed either on the activation element or the valve housing and the stop region is formed vice versa on the valve housing or the activation element. Between the recess and the activation element, a sealing element is provided which is of such resilient form that the activation element can be introduced eccentrically into the recess during assembly and is automatically centred in the recess after the assembly.
