Cuprajake Thx Jake. Appreciate your help. It’s a shame it required a brute force resulting damaged elbow pipe.

Which one of those two do you suggest ? Thx

    LMSC The fittings people are indicating are BSP tapered fittings, you need BSPP, male and female elbow fitting! Super difficult to find in the UK.

        Oh no. Mine is no good. Can’t be used. 😨

          Another one here

          Edit

          No! BSPT to BSPP

          DavecUK BSP tapered fittings,

          That’s BSPT

          Then, BSPT for male and BSPP for female. Hence, BSPT male to BSPP female elbow should work, no?

            LMSC none of those are BPS = BSPT, and the first one you linked to is BSPP male and BSPT female.

            Both sides need to be BSPP. I did check my spares box this evening, but unfortunately I don’t have any of those elbows at all. My recommendation would be, Make up a small list of spare parts you would like (seals, gaskets, temp sensors, etc.. contact Maria at ACS tomorrow and get her to put a kit together.

            If it’s small and light Paolos nephew is coming to stay with me for a while, he arrives 21 Feb, he might be able to bring them with him and I can post them to you.

            In the interim, you can use the machine as long as you don’t turn on the steam!.

            There is this:

            https://espresso-solutions.co.uk/modbar-fitting-elbow-1-8-bspp-male-x-female/

            or this, which doesn’t look tapered in the photo, so you could ask them.

            P.S. I am just guessing they are BSPP fittings on the machine and not metric. I’m also assuming they are not tapered? I just confirmed with Italy this evening, they are BSPP.

                This link is missing Dave!

                Thank you so much for your thoughtful gesture Dave. Let me compile a list after talking to her.

                  Good polish and clean after the man handling she’s had 😂

                    LMSC No it’s quarter inch and they don’t measure as ¼ inch, that’s just what they are called….It’s mad, but ¼ inch doesn’t refer to the diameter.

                        DavecUK There are a few things I will never understand!

                        What are your recommendations to get a list of spares?

                        Getting them thru’ Paolo’s niece is a lovely option. I am happy to do a short drive to collect from you or you could drop in one of the days, when we are mutually free, to pull a few shots from Evo using your roasted beans. A lovely chance to see you making some heavenly cups on Evo that too beans from your roaster. 😁

                            Cuprajake Good polish

                            Did you really chrome polish? Which one please? Thx

                              I just use a glaze from work no cut.

                                You guys work really well together.
                                DavecUK Without giving away any secrets, is there more room in the Vostok than the EVO?
                                I know it is basically the same internals but are they more spread out considering the larger platform?
