Abstract

A valve for controlling fluids, which has a plurality of components that are disposed in succession in the axial direction of the valve. On at least one of the components, a male thread is embodied in order to enter into engagement with a female thread of a lock nut. The lock nut serves to brace the components of the valve. A sealing element is disposed between the female thread of the lock nut and the male thread of the component.
