3/8" Safety Valve - 1.8 Bar
A CE/PED-certified boiler safety valve, calibrated to release at 1.8 bar with a 77 kg/h steam outlet flow rate and an FKM seal rated for -20°C to +200°C — this is the current design used on newer Nuova Simonelli equipment.
SPECIFICATIONS
- Calibration pressure: 1.8 bar
- Steam outlet flow rate: 77 kg/h
- FKM seal, rated -20°C to +200°C
- CE/PED certified
COMPATIBILITY
- Fits: newer Nuova Simonelli equipment, Lavazza LB4800, almost all La San Marco models (part #CSCSIC0020 - 205426), and the Saeco Aroma
- Replaces: the older female-thread version, S_55
INSTALLATION
A moderate task best left to a technician, since it's working on a pressurized boiler fitting — you may also need the retro-fit kit if you're upgrading from an older-style model.
PRO TIPS
- This male-thread design replaced the older female-thread S_55 — if your boiler port is tapped for the old style, don't force this one in; order the retro-fit kit instead, which is built for exactly this swap.
- A safety valve that weeps or won't reseat cleanly after venting is not something to leave "for now" — it's a pressure-relief device, and a valve that won't hold calibration is a legitimate safety issue, not just a maintenance nicety.
