Conti Espresso Machine Steam & Hot Water Tap Valve 3/8" – Commercial Replacement

What Is This Steam & Hot Water Tap Valve?

This is a genuine replacement steam and hot water tap valve for Conti commercial espresso machines. With a 3/8" connection, this valve controls the flow of steam (for milk frothing) and hot water (for Americanos and tea) from the boiler. A worn or leaking tap valve is a common service item and should be replaced to restore full functionality and prevent water damage.

How to Replace a Steam Tap Valve

1. Turn off and unplug the machine; allow it to cool and depressurise fully
2. Drain the boiler before disconnecting any steam or water lines
3. Remove the tap handle and unscrew the valve body from the 3/8" fitting
4. Fit the replacement valve, ensuring thread tape is applied to the BSP connection
5. Reassemble the handle, refill the boiler, and test for leaks before returning to service

If only the internal seal or O-ring is leaking, a tap service kit may resolve the issue without replacing the full valve — contact us for advice.
