A valve (10) which includes a valve flap (13), a flap frame (12) and a unitary housing (11), with the flap (13) rotatably received and arranged in the frame (12) such that when the flap is closed, it allows only minimal leakage which is insignificant to the operation of the valve. The flap frame (12) has a precision region (21) for preventing an abrupt flow changes, and the unitary housing (11) is cast in a mold in which the preassembled valve parts (12, 13) are arranged. Direct casting of the housing (11) around the valve parts (12, 13) enables the production of several housing parts to be avoided, as well as rendering measures to mount and seal the several parts unnecessary. The housing (11) can be connected to adjacent components in a leakproof manner, and connections for engine crankcase ventilation or fuel tank ventilation can be integrated into the housing (11). The valve can be used as a throttle valve for an internal combustion engine.
