The handle is also provided with a coupling element configured to detachably and operably connect to the rotatable adjustment element. At least a portion of the body along an edge of the angular scale is transparent or open so that an operator can see through the portion of the body.

The valve has a face from which the rotatable adjustment element protrudes. This face is provided with a fixed marker.
