1. A device for controlling pressures of a flow medium, the device comprising:
a component;
a valve having an axially oriented valve axis that is seated at least in part in the component and has at least one opening, wherein the at least one opening opens into an annular gap which at least partly surrounds the valve;
the annular gap is formed between the valve and the component; and
at least one seal positioned between the valve and the component that seals the annular gap, the seal being formed from at least one sealing ring and a reinforcement that is a separate component from the valve, the reinforcement including a leg at least partially radially overlapping the annular gap and a hollow-cylindrical collar which is formed in one piece with the leg;
wherein the hollow-cylindrical collar is guided radially on an axially extending hollow-cylindrical neck of the valve, the hollow-cylindrical neck is oriented axially in a direction of a first channel, the hollow-cylindrical neck is formed on the valve about the valve axis, and the hollow-cylindrical neck delimits a first opening of the valve.
