Lelit Elizabeth v1 OPV

Exo4tic

Hello! My Lelit Elizabeth v1 is running around 11.5 BARs, which is high for me, and I would like to lower it to around 9 or 8.5 BARs. What I know is that the OPV is not as easily adjustable as the one on the v3. I saw a video of a guy adjusting the pressure of, I think, the Lelit Victoria by twisting the inside of the OPV, which appears to be the MC097, the same one available on my machine. Is it recommended to adjust it that way, or should I get a replacement part and hope it will be set to 9 BARs, as mentioned on the website? If anyone has some info or videos about the matter, please share it with me!

Thanks!

Why would the spare part be adjusted at 9 bar? Isn’t that the exact same part they fit onto a new machine?

You can’t guarantee it will be pre-adjusted to the right setting. Most likely it won’t.

I don’t know how easy or hard it is to adjust it.

MediumRoastSteam Thank you for your input! I did think the same thing, that the new part will give me the same pressure that I am having at the moment I only mentioned it because that is what Lelit has informed me to do. They mentioned that the part will have a factory setting between 9 and 10.5 bars. Is there any aftermarket part that I can install to regulate the pressure or that it is tested to be running at 9 bars?
Thanks!

Exo4tic - Sorry I have no idea.

MediumRoastSteam No issues!. It appears that the OPV is adjustable, I would have to ask a local technician if they are able to provide such a service.

Thanks!
