Abstract
A valve assembly with at least one transverse channel in a substantially tubular valve housing, the assembly including a valve closing member that is positioned in the valve housing and that co-operates with a valve seat situated on a hollow cylindrical valve seat body that is fixed in the valve housing, the valve seat body being attached to one end of the valve housing. To simplify the production process, the transverse channel is formed by a longitudinal slot which extends in some sections of the valve housing from a starting point at the end of said housing in the longitudinal direction of the latter.
