The piston is designed to block a fluidic connection between the inlet opening and the outlet opening and release a fluidic connection between the inlet opening and the metering opening in the first position. The piston is designed to block a fluidic connection between the inlet opening and the metering opening and release a fluidic connection between the metering opening and the outlet opening in the second position.
