Fits 7mm x 7mm valves such as:
- Rocket: R58, R60, Appartamento, Cromometero R/V, Giotto Mozzafiato Evoluzione R/V. 💡see note below.
- Models with 7 mm square steam/water knobs and 8mm E61 knob and 12mm portafilter handles - Returnable if it does not fit.
Won't fit:
- 💡Some models made before 2017 used a narrower steam tap: (6.5mm x 6.5mm square dial knobs)
- Rocket R58/R60, Appartamento Giotto Mozzafiato. If yours measures 7mm x 7mm - then this kit will fit.
- 💡Thread: Pvc cap is 27.7mm external and walnut is 26.3mm internal.(The PVC cap may not be compatible with some Rocket models) This cap is not compatible with the Rocket TCA apartamento - that model uses a larger silver cap. - You can still use this plain silver cap - but you would no longer be able to use the larger new silver cap with the Rocket logo.
How to fit:
- Remove the black PVC Steam knob: Unscrew the chrome cap anti-clockwise and unscrew the steam tap nut or pop-out clip. Replace with walnut knob and screw in new chrome cap or old rocket one. There are 2 holes in the cap to help tighten the cap into place.
- Remove PVC handle: Check that this is possible as some handles are glued** and as a result are difficult to remove.
- Remove the lever knob:
** If your existing portafilter handle is glued:
- It might be possible to remove the handle by immersing the portafilter into a bowl of boiling water - leave the handle sticking up so it is not damaged.
- Leave it for 10 min.,
- Wrap a towel around the portafilter and try loosening the handle.
