Know before you buy
This gauge is designed for standard ECM boiler configurations using a 1/8BSP connection. As long as your machine utilizes a 40mm gauge body and requires a 0-2.5 Bar range, it will be compatible.
No, this is an aftermarket replacement part and does not feature the ECM logo on the face. It provides the same technical functionality and accuracy as the original factory component.
The capillary is the thin tube that connects the gauge to the boiler, allowing it to measure internal steam pressure. The 160mm length is standard for most ECM installations, ensuring you have enough reach to connect the gauge to the boiler fitting.
If you are comfortable performing basic maintenance on your espresso machine, installation is straightforward. You will need to access the internal boiler area, unscrew the old gauge, and secure the new one using the 1/8BSP fitting, ensuring a tight seal.
Most ECM steam boilers operate within a specific pressure range, typically between 1.0 and 1.5 Bar. A 0-2.5 Bar scale provides the necessary resolution to monitor your boiler's performance accurately without the needle being too cramped or difficult to read.
