🔧 Recommended related part
When carrying out this repair, consider replacing the Breville Barista Group Seal at the same time.
If the original fitting is cracked, loose or leaking, replace the Breville 3-way solenoid connector (SP0001406) at the same time. A leak at this connector can damage the new solenoid.
