Faema/Futurmat Piston Spring (46mm OD x 170mm) Heavy-duty piston spring in zinc-coated carbon steel, 46mm outer diameter x 170mm height, for Faema and Futurmat piston-style groups. SPECIFICATIONS Zinc-coated carbon steel, 46mm OD x 170mm height COMPATIBILITY Fits: Faema and Futurmat piston group assemblies Replaces: OEM 02241206 (listed under Futurmat-Ariete, Gaggia España, Italcrem, Mairali, and Visacrem parts catalogs) INSTALLATION Requires compressing and releasing spring tension during piston assembly work — use proper spring compression tools and eye protection. PRO TIPS Zinc-coated carbon steel resists corrosion far better than bare steel, but inspect for coating damage or rust after long service — a corroded spring loses tension and causes inconsistent piston pressure.
The catalog often lists the same model at several merchants — worth a price check before you buy.
