La Pavoni Boiler Flange Removal Tool NOTE: This tool will not work on "GEN 1 v1.4" Pavonis due to a clearance issue with the drip tray indentation. To see our demonstration on which machines and flanges this tool is designed to work on, please see this link. Custom made by our local machinist. If you add this item to your cart, you are purchasing this item and it is non-returnable. If you would prefer to rent the tool, please see this listing. We also offer the P-107-J-SI-ADAPTER add-on plate that will fit the older, pre-1978 screw-in element. Here's Stefano's You Tube video showing it in action. Another addition to the tool we offer is the P-107-J-HEXBAR adapter which securely adheres to the top of the tool and allows you to use a 3/4” socket to remove stubborn elements/flanges. Note: If you do not order the Hexbar adapter with the tool, then you may receive the tool as pictured, without the slot where the hexbar is affixed. If you feel you may want to purchase the hexbar adapter in the future, please specify that you would like the tool with the appropriate slot. If you do not purchase the wrench adapter, you will need to provide your own 1/2” round bar (or large screwdriver). This tool has an 80mm clearance between the pins, and it is designed to work with plastic flanges, brass* flanges, and our own P-6F aftermarket flange (to retrofit new heating elements onto older machines with fine-threaded boilers). It will NOT work for the very old pot metal flange (see image below). Please see our You Tube video for more details on what the tools are, and are not, designed to help with. * Note: Although we have never seen one, we have heard that some old brass flanges have a smaller outside diameter than the current P-6. Each threaded “ear” on the P-6 measure 14mm from the outside to inside edge (widest part), and the widest distance between 2 ears is 93mm. If yours measures less than that, then we cannot guarantee that this tool will fit properly. Important considerations: the plastic flange itself is no longer available. Therefore, if it breaks during removal or installation, you’ll need to upgrade to the brass flange. Pavoni Flange Comparison
