Nuova Simonelli Appia - Zawór parowo-wodny

The steam and water valve system on the Nuova Simonelli Appia espresso machine is made out of 2 sections. The manual operated steam valve and the automatically controlled water valve.

The steam valve on the Nuova Simonelli Appia uses the “traditional” model of valve. This valve is operated by moving the handle vertically. To open and close the valve. The steam tube is a swivel model, with a compressing spring. So you can put the steam tube in any position without supporting it.

With the water tube you have a similar situation. Only this valve is solenoid valve operated. The water tube is, the same as the steam tube, a swivel joint which is under spring pressure. This makes it possible to leave it in a variety of positions without holding it into place.
