Lower Lever Group Sleeve O-ring

Astoria/CMA Lower Lever Group Sleeve O-Ring – 0161 EPDM

This EPDM o-ring seals the sleeve on the most widely used piston-lever group design in the industry, found across Astoria/CMA, Brasilia, La Pavoni, Nuova Simonelli, and Victoria Arduino commercial lever machines. It's a high-turnover wear part on any lever machine that sees regular use.

SPECIFICATIONS

• Material: EPDM (heat and steam resistant)
• Standard size designation: O-Ring 0161

COMPATIBILITY

• Fits: lower lever group sleeve on Astoria/CMA, Brasilia, La Pavoni, Nuova Simonelli, Victoria Arduino, and Wega lever machines
• Replaces: Astoria CMA 12302, Brasilia 00845.0.00.02, Cimbali 400-249-000/400-249-010, EPGC LF1186198, Nuova Simonelli/Victoria Arduino 17000032, Pavoni 465216, Wega W10381/WY12302

INSTALLATION

Straightforward DIY swap for anyone comfortable partially disassembling the lever group.

PRO TIPS

• EPDM degrades on contact with petroleum-based grease - lubricate with a silicone-based, food-safe grease only when reinstalling, or you'll shorten the new o-ring's life right out of the gate.
• A flat spot or visible crack in the old sleeve o-ring is what causes weeping at the lever pivot; since it's inexpensive, replace it any time the group is opened up rather than waiting for a visible leak.
