Gaggia Classic 2019 Pro or Evo OPV spring mod kit – full 5, 6.5 and 9 bar package

Gaggia Classic 2019 Pro or Evo OPV spring mod kit – full 5, 6.5 and 9 bar package has inside:

5 bar spring    – softer spring from the two shorter ones, usually with less wire lines compared to the other short spring

6.5 bar spring – longest spring

9 bar spring    – tougher from the two short ones, usually with more metal wires compared with the other shorter spring

Explaining the two product variations:

A) JUST SPRINGS KIT – For machines that have TWO pipes going inside your water tank. It means you already have the upper OPV pipe going to the right of the machine (when you open it up and look inside) and into the water tank.

If you don’t have that one, it means you need to buy the the FULL KIT version.

B) FULL KIT – All 3 springs plus one silicone hose and one Teflon cap.

Used on machines that have only ONE water hose going inside your water tank.

It means your OPV pipe goes usually into a Y split adapter and the extra water is released into the drain pipe and into the drip tray.

We do not want that, especially when we settle and use the 9 bar spring.

It means we will loose a lot of water into the drip tray for no reason.

The extra pipe is used for exactly that:

1. Remove the upper OPV pipe and use the provided Teflon cap to seal it up.

2. Use the provided silicone pipe to now re rout the OPV upper water from the valve to one of the right holes and into the water tank.

General rule is: only the machines made between 2019 and 2020 for the EU or UK markets or outside US might need the FULL KIT version.

If you open up your machine from the top, you need to check if your machine has the black plastic case OPV valve that has two hoses going inside it and also, you can check that on the right, you have or not, the upper OPV pipe going into one of the two right holes, into the water tank. If you have trouble finding these details, please contact me.

Older machines have the hex key set up OPV valves and cannot use this spring mod to lower the extraction pressure of your machine.

Gaggia Classic 2019 Pro or Evo OPV spring mod kit – full 5, 6.5 and 9 bar package gives as the title states also, a maximum 5, 6.5 or 9 bar pressure inside the OPV and thus, into the extraction.

This product was designed for the new Classic models (Classic Pro / Classic 2019 / Evo also).

It works on those OPV valves that have the black plastic body and are installed on top of the pump, that has two pipes leading from it.

It is not designed for the single silicone pipe that goes from it towards the over flow pipe.
