1. A valve mountable on an external component, comprising:
a valve seat comprising a first part configured to be contactable with a valve disk, wherein in a first position the valve disk is in contact with the first part of the valve seat and the valve is closed, and wherein in a second position the valve disk is positioned such that the valve is open;
at least one spring element, wherein the first part of the valve seat is displaceable against a force exerted by the at least one spring element by bringing the valve disk from the second position into the first position and thereby deforming the spring element; and
a flange configured for attachment to the external component, wherein the flange comprises a plurality of bores configured to receive screws or other attachment elements, and wherein the flange is configured to deform when subjected to external forces from the attachment,
wherein the valve seat is configured such that a deformation of the flange caused by attaching the flange to the external component does not lead to a deformation of the first part of the valve seat.
