🔧 De’Longhi Mechanical Valve – 5513227961 / AS00006027
This DeLonghi mechanical valve is a replacement assembly for compatible De’Longhi coffee machines. Also known as a mechanics valve, mechanica valve or upper brewing piston assembly, it is cross-referenced under part numbers 5513227961 and AS00006027. It is an option when a damaged mechanical valve has been identified as the source of an internal leak.
Water in the coffee grounds container can have more than one cause. Worn brew-unit or piston O-rings may be responsible, while a cracked valve assembly can require replacement. Identify the source of the leak before ordering parts.
💧 Water leaking into the grounds container?
If a leak continues after the seals have been checked, the mechanical valve may need closer inspection. Replacing this assembly is appropriate when the valve itself is faulty; it is not a guaranteed fix for every brewing or water-flow problem.
Read our DeLonghi water in the coffee grounds container troubleshooting guide for the difference between worn seals and a damaged mechanical valve.
🧩 Cream and black valves: interchangeable versions
Both cream and black versions of this mechanical valve assembly are interchangeable. A different body colour does not mean you need a different replacement. This applies to the matching valve assembly, rather than every valve across the De’Longhi range.

If you are unsure about disassembly or fitting, arrange professional repair assistance. Check the hose connections and seals during installation, then test for leaks after reassembly.
