Faema E92 Elite - Water valve

The water inlet valve used on the Faema E92 Elite espresso machine is one of the most common models water inlet valves. This valve is a combination of a solenoid valve operated model and a manual version.

This water inlet valve has one inlet coming from the espresso machine pump. At this inlet point you will also find a fitting for attaching the pressure gauge for the pump pressure. When the water comes into the valve it goes towards the 2 way solenoid valve or towards the brewing groups.

When the 2 way valve is broken you can always override this valve by pushing the shaft inwards with a handle or a small knob. You won’t find this option anymore on newer water inlet valves on Faema espresso machines.
