Rancilio 3/8" Anti-Vacuum Valve – Weighted Rancilio's weighted 3/8" anti-vacuum valve, which prevents air from being drawn back into the boiler as it cools, protecting against vacuum-related leaks and element damage. SPECIFICATIONS 3/8" thread Weighted design for balanced, reliable seating COMPATIBILITY Fits: Rancilio boilers using a 3/8" anti-vacuum valve Replaces: Rancilio #10060051 (direct replacement for #10060059 and #10060061 once the top weight is removed) INSTALLATION DIY-friendly; requires a separate PTFE gasket, which is not included. PRO TIPS Don't skip the PTFE gasket, this valve is sold without one, and installing it dry on the fitting threads is a common cause of a persistent weep at the boiler connection. The top weight unscrews easily, letting this same valve serve as a direct swap for Rancilio #10060059 or #10060061, check which style you're replacing before assuming you need a different part.
The catalog often lists the same model at several merchants — worth a price check before you buy.
