Pin tap

What is a valve pin

The valve pin is a small but important part of the steam or water valve in a coffee machine. It acts as a moving element that, when the control knob is turned, opens or closes the flow of steam or water through the dispensing or steam-water spout.

Typical signs of wear

When the pin is worn, bent, or mechanically damaged, the valve becomes harder to operate, sticks, or jams. Water or steam may leak even in the closed position, the flow may become irregular, or it may become completely impossible to open or close the valve.

Why replace this part in time

A damaged pin also puts extra strain on the other valve components and can cause them to wear out faster. Timely replacement prevents a bigger valve failure, unnecessary leakage of water or steam, and ensures reliable, smooth control of your coffee machine.

How to choose the right part

• Check compatibility in the product table according to your coffee machine model.
• Check whether it is a steam-water valve or a dispensing valve, as the design may differ.
• When replacing it, also check the condition of the adjacent seals and the control mechanism.
