Abstract

A valve comprises a valve body, a flap, and a shaft driving the flap. At least one first bearing guides a first end of the shaft. The first end of the shaft includes an inner housing emerging axially. The first bearing includes a barrel axially engaged in the inner housing, such that no accumulation of condensates can occur in the inner housing when the first end of the shaft points downward.
