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:

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.

Is it ½”?
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. 😁
I just use a glaze from work no cut.

LMSC I’ll have to think about a small list and see if Paolo’s nephew is willing to bring them over.
Amberale it’s very similar, perhaps very slightly more accessible. The shape makes this so

So following on from this mod, I priced up powder coat black panels but landed there £250 ish
So took a risk, spoke to my tech rep and went a head
Sanded with 180grit then red scotchbrite
Cleaned and masked then put into the booth
Product of choice syrox/Dupont and upol raptor, used 10% gloss addictive and 10% thinners
Wash primer flashed for 15mins
Then the 2 coats of raptor with a 10min flash in between
Not going to bake these, flashed at 30 for ten then can cure over weekend, gloss levels will drop a tad as it cures
Then I can build it up Monday
