A valve assembly (2) according to claim 5, wherein the valve (3) is a butterfly valve. 7. A valve assembly (2) according to claim 6, wherein the support member (6) further comprise an element for attaching an outer medium; the element being selected from the group consisting of a thread, a flange and a combination thereof. 8. A valve assembly (2) according to claim 7, wherein the support member (6) is provided with an annular internal grove groove matching the closed position of the valve (3). 9. A valve assembly according to claim 7, wherein support member (6) provides mechanical stability and support to the tube shaped body (30) wherein the support member (6) is manufactured of a rigid material selected from the group consisting of high-density polyethylene, polypropylene, polyamide, polycarbonate and acrylonitrile butadiene styrene co-polymer. 10. A valve assembly (2) according to claim 6, wherein the valve seal (3) and the outer lip seal (5) constitute parts of a tube shaped body (30) that the tube shaped body (30) is further provided with a flange (33) and holes with seals (34) intended to receive lower and upper axle ends (31 and 32 respectively) of the valve (3). 11. A valve assembly (2) according to claim 5, wherein the valve seal (3) and the outer lip seal (5) constitute parts of a tube shaped body (30) that the tube shaped body (30) is further provided with a flange (33) and holes with seals (34) intended to receive lower and upper axle ends (31 and 32 respectively) of the valve (3). 12. A valve assembly (2) according to claim 11, wherein the tube shaped body (30) is made of a flexible thermoplastic material compatible with that of the liner, and that the flexibility is obtained by making desired portions of the tube shaped body (30) thin walled. 13. A valve assembly (2) according to claim 12, wherein the liner and the tube shaped body (30) is made from thermoplastic material selected from the group consisting of low-density polyethylene, linear low-density polyethylene, polypropylene and polyamide. 14. A valve assembly according to claim 12, wherein support member (6) provides mechanical stability and support to the tube shaped body (30) wherein the support member (6) is manufactured of a rigid material selected from the group consisting of high-density polyethylene, polypropylene, polyamide, polycarbonate and acrylonitrile butadiene styrene co-polymer. 15. A valve assembly (2) according to claim 14, wherein the rigid material further includes a filler selected from the group consisting of lime, mica, glass fibre, carbon fibre, aramide fibre and combinations thereof. 16. A valve assembly according to claim 12, wherein it is assembled by pressing the valve (3) into the tube shaped body (30) so that the lower and upper axle ends (31 and 32 respectively) is positioned in the holes with seals (34) whereupon the lower guide member (61) and upper guide member (62) are attached around the tube shaped body (30) so that the guiding holes (63 and 64 respectively) receive and guide the lower and upper axle ends (31 and 32 respectively) of the valve (3). 17. A valve assembly (2) according to claim 11, wherein the tube shaped body (30) acts as a gasket and provides a seal towards the part selected from the group consisting of the valve (3), an outer medium via the outer lip seal (5), the lower axle end (31) and the upper axle end (32) and combinations thereof. 18.
