Hi all,
I have a BFC Junior Extra. It is a brilliant machine which has worked excellently upuntol yesterday. I was adjusting the OPV to lower my brew pressure (as I prefer it at around 7.5/8 bars) and noticed that the previous owner linked a copper pipe. For some silly reason I tried to straighten the link and broke the copper pipe. On my machine the copper pipe goes from the solenoid to the boiler the. To the OPV. It has a T joint in the middle to make it three ways.
As as it turns out, it looks as though I can not simply buy a replacement copper pipe and connection, so it looks like I will be attempting to fabricate it myself.
There are three compression joints on the end of the copper pipes that join to the relevant parts. These look like this but attach to 1/4 pipe - https://www.espressocare.com/product...red-nipple-8mm
I have successfully purchased two of the compression joints (the one to the solenoid and other to the OPV) however the one that joins to the boiler is slightly smaller and the shop I went to today (coffee parts - sponspored store) did not have that size.
Does anyone have have any ideas for me in finding the parts in or around Sydney. Or has anyone undertaken a similar job like this in the past with advice.
See below the part part I am trying to replicate (noting the middle connector is smaller than the ones on the end

Cheers Ed
