1. A valve device having a valve sitting in a valve socket, wherein:
the valve has a valve axis running lengthwise in two opposite axial directions, a valve housing running coaxially with the valve axis, and at least one stop sitting on the valve housing,
the valve socket is provided with an internally cylindrical valve seat, in which an externally cylindrical first housing portion of the valve housing of the valve sits,
the valve seat is described by a valve seat internal radius (VR1),
the stop radially protrudes beyond the valve housing, wherein a radial stop dimension (AR) of the stop is greater than the valve seat internal radius (VR1) and wherein the radial stop dimension (AR) is a smallest radial distance between the valve axis and an area of the stop radially removed farthest from the valve axis,
the stop sits on the valve housing at an inlet opening of the valve, wherein a first flow channel of the valve device leads to the inlet opening and wherein the inlet opening is formed at a first end of the valve which is axially removed from a second end of the valve having the externally cylindrical first housing portion,
at least one flow opening aligned radially, i.e., transversely to the valve axis, is formed on a second housing portion of the valve housing axially adjoining the externally cylindrical first housing portion.
