The pin valve with catalogue number 421946011491P is the component that regulates hot-water flow during beverage preparation in Philips EP coffee machines. If your machine delivers water incorrectly — flow is too weak, or water is escaping where it should not — a worn valve is one of the most common causes, and this pin is the correct replacement.
Important — verify your model: before ordering, check the exact model designation and version of your machine (e.g. type code EP2231/40 or the suffix after the slash) on the rating label. The label is usually located on the underside of the machine or behind the water tank. This ensures the part will fit your appliance.
