drdre89 europa ahhh don’t you find a sense of satisfaction and euphoria once it hits that perfect 9 bars and stays there ? Very satisfying. All hail the OLAB OPV … we salute you
soundwave1 europa is there a part number for that specific olab opv? I’d be keen to hunt one down if my retailer palms me off. Thanks.
europa soundwave1 Altho’ the pic is slightly different, i think this is the one: https://www.olabitaly.com/products/fluid-control/valves/brass-valves/k09611_114.html You could always email them this pic: https://photos.app.goo.gl/58FuGh1xcP3uu7Xy5, and ask for the part number and whether they have a local-to-you distributor.
ken1 I posted a link to the OPV earlier in the thread https://www.olabitaly.com/news-events/news/series-k09611.html
soundwave1 ken1 thanks mate! I was viewing on my phone and couldn’t find an easy way to search through the post. Appreciate it!
soundwave1 europa Great idea mate, i will fire off an email this evening. Hope yours remains functional! My machine just started shooting to 12 bars today….seems to be getting worse. Would love to fix this as its an otherwise great piece of kit.
Inspector europa When they send you new style OPV on your purchase order email, was it saying FOC OPV for lelit and SKU: MC931 or something totally different?
europa Just a quick update: I cannot believe how stable the pressure has become since swapping out the OPV. No spikes and no difference between shots. It’s bang on 9 bar every single time.
Inspector Ando Hi, after my second email, mentioning that if they have received new type OPV’s from lelit (OLAB ones) i would like to get one for self fitment. I received a purchase order email in two days.
Ando Inspector Thanks. I have just been fobbed off on the phone, will wait and see what happens via email.
dmau9600 europa Do you have a link to where you purchased it from? Can it be adjusted below 9 bar, to around 8 bar?
europa dmau9600 No. It was sent to me under warranty. As i suggested to someone else on here, you could contact OLAB and ask for a list of distributors. Else, you could perhaps raise a ticket with LELIT.
soundwave1 europa I ended up hearing back from Olab. “We regret to inform you that we sell this item only to an italian producer”. Only way we are getting this is if Lelit and retailer come to the party and fix these machines it seems.
