Overview

This is the small flexible tube that runs between the piston fitting and the pressure gauge on the Cafelat Robot Barista. The Robot Barista uses a simple push-fit Parker Legris system: the tube clips into a straight fitting on the piston at one end, and an elbow fitting on the gauge at the other. If that tube gets cut, pinched, or pulled out of shape, the gauge stops giving accurate pressure readings. This part replaces it.

When you actually need this

The pressure gauge system on the Robot is reliable and the tube usually just needs to be flicked back into the correct orientation if it has shifted. You only need a new tube if the original has been physically damaged, for example accidentally cut while working around the machine, or kinked badly enough that it no longer holds shape. If the gauge is reading oddly but the tube looks intact, check the tube position before ordering a replacement.

Fitting it

The Parker Legris fittings are push-fit. To remove the old tube, press down on the locking collar on the fitting and pull the tube straight out. Push the new tube in until it seats. No tools are needed for the tube itself. Note that this listing is the tube only, if your metal protective sleeve or the self-adhesive hook that routes the tube along the frame is also damaged, those are sold separately.
