When I spoke to my local distributor they said the same thing about
the gasket from Creme.
They said that the brew boiler leaks more often because it is fully
saturated and pressurised to a much higher level than the steam boiler
(9bar vs 1.4bar).
They used some thread sealer, not sure if it was
Thanks John. Putting this together with the information above has been
very helpful. I'm seriously at the point where I think I'm going to cut my
losses and just do the fix myself.

Hey Kai,
Sorry to hear of your troubles, but if they botched it before, it might be time

i used yellow teflon tape on the threads for the steam boiler heater and
it has worked for years now. also, i think the steam boiler is at a
higher temp and pressure than the brew boiler.

I think my main advice from years of turning wrenches on all sorts of stuff
would be: if you don't have the right tool, stop and find it. If things aren't
going well, stop and figure out a better way. Be patient and you'll be fine;
don't be afraid to ask lots of questions. Remembering that the

Hi Guys
Have been thinking of changing my rotary steam tap for a toggle steam
tap of some sorts.
Ideally I would like to replace the tap with a new fitting that would
allow me to control the steam with either a toggle like the GS3.
Has anyone on the group done this before?
If so what parts did
i think the yellow teflon tape actually got squished into the area the
gasket surface is too. not sure about other uses, but the natural gas
pressure in a home is nill - i think just a couple of pounds pressure.
actually i replaced the element twice, and thats how i know the tape
squished

I have a question concerning the elbow pipe. What is the purpose of
it? It is constantly pouring out cold water while brewing.
Do you have a rotary or Vibe pump? Plumbed or reservoir?
It's the excess water. If it's rotary and plumbed it's just the way

i think they are about 300 a piece. as ira stated, there is a situation
with the pipe hook up , and some models mount on the inside of the panel
(i think) which would require replumbing the steam supply pipe. the
Mondaile has levers also.
