Hi!

Some months ago I finally decided to upgrade my gaggia classic and bought the Rancilio Steam Wand. The problem is that in the process, I have lost the original gaggia classic nut that attaches the pipe to the machine. As you all know, the nut that comes with the Rancilio doesn't fit, so I started looking for the specific nut without success...

Does anybody know where can I get that nut? Or at least the whole original steam pipe and just take the nut...

I know I'm soo stupid... :cry:

Thanks in advance

Partsguru.com will have the part you seek.

However, look at the gaggia users group. There is a nut you can order from espressoparts.com that will allow you to connect the silvia steam wand directly, BUT you it adds a little length to the wand forcing you to unscrew it everytime you want to get the water tank out.

Thanks for the advice but... You guys know any place where to get the part in Europe? I'm from Spain and really don't want to spend 60$ for a nut.

Thanks!

Thanks nightflight. I have that link already. I was actually asking about just the gaggia nut that you use to fasten the wand to the machine. Intrepid510 made it sound like he knew where to get just the nut.

I'm sorry for the misunderstanding. Give espressoparts a call; they may have a nut, if not they may know where to get one. Otherwise, you may have to bite the bullet and get the entire assembly.
