Part number P2561, this anti-vacuum valve (also called a vacuum breaker or non-return valve with drain) prevents a vacuum forming in the boiler after the machine is switched off, allowing the boiler to drain safely and protecting the heating element from air exposure.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePart Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e P2561\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e Anti-Vacuum Valve with Drain\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInlet:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1\/4\" BSP\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOutlet:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1\/4\" Male BSP\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompatible Brands:\u003c\/strong\u003e ECM, Profitec\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.2 kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e New \/ Genuine OEM\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVendor:\u003c\/strong\u003e ECM \/ Profitec\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCompatible ECM Models\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eECM Barista A2 (201507–)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eECM Barista A3 (201507–)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eECM Compact HX-2 (201607–, 202311–)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eECM Compact HX-2 PID (202311–)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eECM Controvento (201410–, 201602–)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eECM Controvento Due (201703–)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eECM Mechanika Slim VI (202409–)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eECM Synchronika (201907–)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eECM Synchronika II\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eECM Synchronika Dual Boiler (202311–)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCompatible Profitec Models\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProfitec Drive (202310–)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProfitec Jump (202407–)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProfitec Pro 400 (202408–)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProfitec Pro 600 (201807–, 202404–)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProfitec Pro 700 (201907–)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSymptoms of a Faulty Anti-Vacuum Valve\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWater dripping from the boiler drain after machine is switched off\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBoiler not holding pressure correctly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eValve body cracked, corroded, or leaking during operation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGurgling sounds from boiler during heat-up cycle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cdl\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eWhat does an anti-vacuum valve do on an espresso machine?\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003eAn anti-vacuum valve (also called a vacuum breaker) sits on the boiler and opens automatically when the machine is switched off and the boiler cools. This prevents a vacuum from forming inside the boiler that could pull contaminated water back in or collapse the boiler structure. The drain feature allows a small amount of water to evacuate during cool-down, which is normal behaviour.\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eIs the drip of water after switch-off normal?\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003eYes — a small drip of water from the boiler drain line after switching off is normal operation of the anti-vacuum valve. If the valve is dripping continuously during machine operation or leaking from the valve body, it requires replacement.\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003c\/dl\u003e","brand":"ECM\/Profitec","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46750273405124,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0682\/6632\/8260\/files\/ANTI-VAVLE.jpg?v=1789852382","url":"https:\/\/bearcoffeemachine.com.au\/products\/anti-vacuum-valve-with-drain-1-4-1-4m-ecm-profitec-p2561","provider":"Bear Coffee Machine ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
