New Vacuum Breaker Valve

If you are having trouble with vapor lock on your espresso machine try this vacuum breaker valve, it should solve your problem. What is vapor lock? Vapor lock is when your put you espresso machine on a timer so it will be ready when you get up only to find that as soon as you open the steam valve your pressure drops to zero in a matter of a couple of seconds, and your group is not hot. Your machine heats up as normal after that, which if you wait for you will be late for work.

This is the same valve we use to sell with one exception. You can either use it like it is or you can attach a piece of silicon tubing to the top and tap into the discharge side of you expansion valve or where ever else you would like to divert any moisture that escapes from the top prior to it seating.

Note: We know this valve will not work in Pasquini or Mini Vivaldi machines. There is not enough clearance between the top of the boiler and the top cover of the machine. If you want to attach tubing to the top it's best to have at least 2" of clearance.
