1. A valve body comprising:
a filling connection housing configured to form a filling connection to an external filling apparatus, wherein the filling connection is configured to selectively provide compressed air;
a pressure supply connection;
a plurality of load connections, wherein each load is configured to be filled with the compressed air from either the filling connection or the pressure supply connection; and
a sealing piston configured to be displaced axially between a closing position and an opening position, wherein a spring component, arranged between the sealing piston and a spring holding ring, is configured to urge the sealing piston into the closing position, the sealing piston is guided by holding components fixed directly on a housing of the filling connection, and the holding components are formed as self-holding pressed-in parts and have sawtooth structures on their outer sides.
