Nuova Simonelli 3/8" Certified Safety Valve Kit (9825000040)

These are new a design for Nuova Simonelli equipment only. It comes as a kit for retro-fitting most all (commercial) models new and old, but does not come with the anti-vacuum valve. 

Included are:

• 1 x 3/8" Male British Standard Pipe certified safety valve -1.8 bar, -20/+200°C
• 1 x Plastic safety valve cover
• 1 x Brass safety valve cover washer
• 1 x Nickel plated 3/8" F x 1/4" F BSP reducer fitting
• 1 x Nickel plated 3/8" M x 3/8" F x 3/8" F BSP Tee fitting
• 1 x Nickel plated 3/8" F x 3/8" M x 3/8" F BSP Tee fitting
• 1 x Nickel plated 3/8" F x 3/8" M BSP 90° fitting
• 1 x Brass 3/8" fixing nut

NOT INCLUDED are the anti-vacuum valve and adaptor fitting.

It will be tempting to use plumbers (PTFE) tape, and feel free to, but tightening these fittings together as tight as you can get them with a couple of wrenches should be sufficient: the heat from the steam will expand the fittings and any small leaks that appear (however unlikely) will fade away.

The valve alone can be found here.
