Hi CSers,
I'd like to replace the steam wand on my Brugnetti Simona Top. This is the original one on the machine -
It does a surprisingly good job for such a small and funny shaped wand, but it has started to leak which has me thinking I might upgrade. I've stopped the leak for now by adding an o-ring inside the assembly so there's no huge rush and I'd like to do it right. The assembly attaches to this male threaded fitting -
Unfortunately this fitting is really small at just 1/8BSP so I'll probably have to put an adapter on. That doesn't really worry me and it does mean that my options for a replacement are quite wide. It looks like I can probably get something off a parts supplier for around $60 or maybe less from somewhere like CafeParts, but I thought I'd check in here first to see if anyone has anything lying around. I've had a look around online and it looks like some of the Breville and Sunbeam steam arms are actually really good and will be small enough for me being domestic parts where many commercial arms will be too long. The space I have to work with measures about 150mm from the male fitting to the drip tray and I'd like to still be able to purge into the drip tray if possible. You can see it here -
I'd like to pay as little as possible if I'm buying 2nd hand, anything up to about $30 including postage to Sydney is ok. Let me know if you can help. Cheers.
