Futurmat Articulating Steam/Water Wand Valve Body The Futurmat Articulating Steam/Water Wand Valve Body is the swivel valve housing that lets the steam and hot water wands pivot on Ariete, E61 Palanca (lever), and Rimini machines. Because this body is a limited-availability component, many owners choose to replace the entire steam/water valve assembly instead for a more reliable, complete-fit repair. This is a special order item shipped directly from the manufacturer separately from the rest of your order: in-stock units ship fast, while out-of-stock units typically require 4-6 weeks for processing before shipping. SPECIFICATIONS: Thread Size: Accepts the F_345 steam wand (obsolete) COMPATIBILITY: Fits: Futurmat Ariete, E61 Palanca (lever), and Rimini models Replaces: OEM Futurmat articulating valve body (F_1356) Works with: F_53, F_55, F_342 (x2), F_346, F_347, F_348, F_849; full replacement available as the Futurmat 360° Steam/Water Valve INSTALLATION: Advanced difficulty, replacing this valve body involves disassembling the wand swivel joint and reinstalling several small components. We recommend a qualified technician, and recommend confirming fit before ordering given limited part availability.
