La Marzocco Steam Wand Adapter O-ring (PTFE) - GS-3/GB-5/FB-80 PTFE o-ring that seals the lower surface of the steam wand ball inside the wand nut. This is the current-version replacement for the old rubber H.1.003 design. SPECIFICATIONS PTFE; 2.62 mm thickness x 12.37 mm internal diameter COMPATIBILITY Fits: La Marzocco GS-3, GB-5, FB-80 steam wands Replaces: La Marzocco H.1.044 (supersedes the old rubber H.1.003 / MZ_410) INSTALLATION DIY - remove the steam wand tip, then the nut. Push the o-ring into the nut vertically, then press it into place with a circular motion before reinstalling the nut and tip. PRO TIPS This PTFE version resists heat-hardening far better than the old rubber H.1.003 it replaced - if your wand ball has been leaking steam or feels gritty when you swivel it, upgrading to this PTFE o-ring solves a problem the original rubber design was prone to.
