I need to replace my sight tube on the La Pavoni. OD is 8.62 mm

Doug (or anyone), which part # is that at Orphan Espresso?

Also, does anyone have any experience with the double O-ring setup vs. the normal gaskets that seal that tube?

Pros? Cons?

The small OD tube is #1644. We've been using the double o-ring style sight glass seals for nearly a year with no problems. Easier to install, easier to replace, and they last longer. In fact, Olympia has changed over to an o-ring for sight glasses in their new kit.

Thanks guys!

Just placed my order for the sight tube, as well as a few other parts.

Chasing down the leaks in the La Pavoni is never-ending job it seems!

I received my order today. Thanks for the outstanding packing job and quick shipping! Most appreciated.

Also, I have to say, the O-ring setup you have for the sight glass is fantastic. Way better than the OEM setup, that's for sure.

Anyway, the machine is back on-line and working great! (finally no leaks).

Thanks again for the great service.
