How to install or reinstall a pressure gauge and adapter?

The set is a boon for those looking to control boiler pressure in LP machines and know whether their coffee maker is ready for action. The gauge precisely indicates pressure levels, which can add to your milk drink preparation routines.

Easily adjust the working modes of your machine by looking at the gauge. The pointers will stop on a specific marker indicating whether the coffee maker is overheating or not, so you can tune up the settings on the fly.

Order the La Pavoni Europiccola pressure gauge kit that fits your lever machine. To make sure there are compatibility issues down the road, you can pick:

• M11 thread adapter – Works like a charm for Pre-Millennium or Millennium LP models
• M12 thread adapter – Sits well with older LP machines

To identify which type of LP you own, check the exact size of the block where you’ll place the item. Alternatively, let us know the serial number of your machine as you shop for the La Pavoni lever pressure gauge + adapter. We’ll do our homework to deliver the kit that fits.

BUT…as a general rule (or it used to be one), the M12 thread is used on older machines, that usually have the metal sight glass cover from factory.
The M11 thread is used on newer LP machines. But now, I see more and more M12 adapters and threads used on new machines, so best before purchasing is to check your existing thread.

Please purchase only after you carefully checked your existing thread ! I do not accept returns after the shipping is received by the customer.

HOW DO YOU DO THAT?

You can easily find out what type of adapter thread you need, by simply removing the sight glass top screw (with the long screwdriver channel on it) and measure the EXTERIOR thread diameter.
If it shows 11 mm (or almost 11 mm), you need the M11 and if it shows 12 mm (or almost 12 mm), you need the M12 thread type.
It’s best to use an electronic ruler in order to do this measuring. But classic one is fine also of course.

Installation:

1. Use some wide and thick screw or a big coin to remove the block off OEM screw. If you will use a small flat-tip screw, you could damage the OEM nut;
2. Check it the plastic OEM gasket is in good condition;
3. Use the provided Teflon tape to wrap the two threads (adapter + pressure gauge);
4. Screw the adapter inside, without to much force and without pushing the adapter way inside. Usually a few turns are OK, as the Teflon tape will take care of the sealing;
5. Screw the pressure gauge in the adapter, using hand tight force;
6. Use both threads to make the gauge face forward. Tighten both threads little by little until the orientation is perfect. You can use little or more Teflon depending on the situation, to match the position perfectly. There is no need to tighten the adapter all the way down. You can screw the pressure gauge all the way down;
7. Test the machine for any pressure leaks present at the adapter and pressure gauge. If you want perfect and real readings, please check if the machine does not have any other pressure leaks present, besides the new adapter and pressure gauge zone. Also, if you don’t want or like Teflon tape, you can use food safe thread locker and sealant.
