Faema E61 Steam/water Handle

Faema E61 Steam/Water Valve Handle

Chrome-finished lever handle for the classic Faema E61-style steam and hot water valves, with a square 7 x 7mm pin bore that grips the valve spindle. It's not exclusive to Faema, this handle cross-references across several Italian-made group valves that share the same spindle geometry.

SPECIFICATIONS

• Square pin hole: 7 x 7 mm (spindle bore)
• Threaded cap cover (compatible with blind acorn nut, cover optional)

COMPATIBILITY

• Fits: Faema E61 steam and hot water valves, plus Ascaso, Expobar, Grimac, Vibiemme and other machines using the same 7x7mm E61-style spindle
• Replaces: Faema 4831135882, Ascaso F..125, Expobar 40000080, Grimac 2210200003 / GR331 / GR855, LF 1548011, Nuova Ricambi 500181, Scala C-0199, Vibiemme MANPRUVAACRE

INSTALLATION

Straightforward DIY swap, but expect the handle to need firm, “gentle persuasion” pressure to seat fully onto the tight-fit spindle.

PRO TIPS

• If the handle won't seat flush, don't wrench it sideways, it's a straight tight press fit, so a few light taps with a rubber mallet, square to the spindle axis, seats it without cracking the handle.
• Since this handle cross-references to at least seven different manufacturers' spindle designs, confirm your spindle's pin hole is a true 7x7mm square before ordering, E61 clones vary slightly.
