To all a Merry Christmas...

I have a QM Vetrano old model HX with Sirai pressure stat. The copper pipe/tubing between it and the boiler is leaking with pin hole. I have been working with my original dealer, but exact parts like this are not available. They sent a replacement that has different fittings that doesn't work.

Can someone tell me what kind of tubing and fittings I need to replicate this myself and where to get?
I will post pics later today if needed.

Where is the pinhole?

What about getting the pinhole brazed?

What does it connect to? Can you replace fittings on the other end.

Can you use a braided hose with the correct fittings?

Site sponsor Stefano @ Espresso Care has a huge selection of obscure parts from days past.

At this point, since you already cut the original pipe, maybe replace the boiler fittings to fit with the new pipe should be an option.

Thanks for answers.
I had to remove all old fittings to get this to work and then carefully bend/rotate it to allow Sirai to fit.
A small pain but it worked.
