Part Details Part number: 996530002744 Official Gaggia OEM spare part Compatible with Gaggia Classic V3 (2019 and later) Secures steam wand to steam pipe connection Lightweight spring clip — direct replacement, no tools required Features Genuine Gaggia spare — not an aftermarket copy Restores a firm, secure steam wand connection Prevents steam wand movement during milk texturing Simple press-fit installation Frequently Asked Questions What does the steam wand pipe clip do on a Gaggia Classic? The spring clip holds the steam wand firmly onto the steam pipe fitting. Without it, the wand can rotate freely, wobble, or pull away from the pipe — causing steam leaks and making milk texturing difficult or unsafe. Which Gaggia Classic models use part 996530002744? This clip is designed for the Gaggia Classic V3, introduced in 2019. If you have an earlier Gaggia Classic (pre-2019), check your model number before ordering as the steam wand assembly differs between generations. How do I fit the Gaggia Classic steam wand spring clip? With the machine off and cooled, locate the joint between the steam wand and the steam pipe. Press the spring clip firmly into the groove around the pipe fitting until it clicks into place and the wand no longer moves. No tools are needed for this repair.
