From 1990, on the model Europiccola is no longer possible to mount the pressure gauge because La Pavoni reduced the hole of upper retainer from 12 mm to 11 mm while the pressure gauge nut is 12 mm.

- replace the upper sight glass retainer with the one for professional model which his hole is 12 mm.

On previous models (recognizable by protection sight glass revolving metal and not plastic), the gauge can be mounted directly using a 12 mm nut.

The pressure gauge allows you to monitor the proper functioning of the pressure and allows an immediate diagnosis in case of malfunction of the same.

unscrew the cap, possibly tapping with a hammer on a screwdriver positioned oblique to the outside, so as not to damage the cap

in the case of Europiccola 80's, during screwing, the gauge tends to touch the boiler, in this case remove the protection

If you have not availability of the 11 mm nut, then you have to replace the upper retainer.

The replacement is not particularly complicated and can be performed without special equipment.
