Coffee Sensor La Pavoni Lever Europiccola or Professional B Push steam valve installation and test

Parts used in the video:
1. B Push steam valve system: coffee-sensor....
2. Steam valve removal tool: coffee-sensor....
3. Steam pipe (new model, the only one that can work with the B Push valve): coffee-sensor....
Totally new innovation from Coffee Sensor, the B-Push Steam Valve by Coffee Sensor is one of our latest conversion kit for your LP machine.
Our custom made and total game changing product allows you to convert your La Pavoni entire steam mechanism from the normal steam / water taps with the nasty plastic knob to the so-called “push” tap.
Compatible only with the newer round model of final steam pipe found here - CLICK TO VIEW.
By operating the black lever up or down, you immediately have two options for your steam: ALWAYS ON - FIX POSITION (offers INSTANT full steam power) or small / long purges, as the user needs.
The kit contains:
1. The new steam tap main body
2. Two special adapters so it will fit any La Pavoni EP or Pro. One adapter is for the boiler connection and one adapter for the final part of the steam tap, the one that has the steam tip attached at the end.
3. Two small gaskets to seal between the steam tap and pipe.
We recommend purchasing the special tool so that the removal of the old steam tap and the installation of our new kit will go as smooth as possible.
The tool can be found here - click here to view.
The kit IS NOT sold with a new final steam pipe.
Bare in mind that the Stradivari steam pipes are square shaped at the start and the normal pipes are round.
Our product is compatible with both types but the looks with the square type will be a little bit odd.

Great to see this vid has been provided to assist us, the great unwashed, and was absolutely of assistance to me.. I'm going to note a couple of things in the process: If you don't want to disassemble the boiler, get the spanner.. Then, If you have a pressure profiler or airbuster installed, the spanner will be too long... I took mine to the bench vice, and "adjusted" it with a hammer. Now, you won't using the spanner in the conventional sense of spanners, you can only locate the nut and hold it, there will be no turning.... While I was at the vice I took the grinder to the shoulders on the spanner, so that I could better find the flats of the unseen nut.. And, yes, when removing the existing tap body, it will hit your pressure gauge, perched atop the sight glass.. I'm going suggest that, in the sense of working with bicycles: if you fiddle with it, there will be trouble... Leave the pressure gauge in place and remove the tap handle (that you will no longer use) in order to facilitate the removal of the tap body... At reassembly, and you will have already noted that the nut that holds the tap body on is oddly thin, with the nut held in the spanner, I had difficulty picking up the thread with the new tap body... It certainly wasn't an option with the two nylon washers at the tap body, depicted in the vid... The kit however came with four such nylon washers, so, before you place the nut (wafer thin..) into the spanner, slip in a nylon washer, to raise the nut up... Even then, in the end I just some how jagged it, and I was away.. Lastly; the kit doesn't come with a new copper washer, so it might be best to anneal the existing one, at your kitchen hob, before reassembly.... Hope this is useful..

Where do you get the wrench to fit inside boiler?

[@jeffreyhatcher2242]

Do you have any suggestions on how to straighten the hole that the steam tap screws into? It is bent inward and leaks. I can't seem to bend it without damaging the body.

Is it possible to install this reversed for left-handed use? Is there a way to modify a steam wand to work in left-handed configuration?

[@coffeesensor6612]

I don't think so, since the steam pipe has the current position.

[@niklaswo]

I have problems with the push lever not springing back up in the downward purge mode. What can I do to fix this?

[@coffeesensor6612]

You need to use the blocking nut, change it's position in order to obtain the best knob function.

[@TheHabadababa]

No Teflon Tape on the thread with the 2 Teflon washers?

[@coffeesensor6612]

Only if you keep getting a leak.

[@dikatschus]

will this fit on a machine with an old steam wand? pre 1993

[@coffeesensor6612]

Yes, if you remove the entire old wand and use this product.

[@wjtran]

Will there be a brass/gold version?

[@coffeesensor6612]

Not for now.
