Overview

These are the two stainless steel Parker Legris push-fit fittings that hold the flexible tube in place on the Cafelat Robot Barista’s pressure gauge system. The straight fitting threads into the piston, the elbow fitting threads into the back of the gauge, and the FEP tube clips into both via the push-in collars. Pick the variant you need from the dropdown. Both versions are sold individually.

Which one do I need?

If your gauge has come loose or the tube won’t seat properly at the gauge end, you need the elbow fitting. If the problem is at the piston end, where the tube meets the lever assembly, you need the straight fitting. If both fittings have failed (uncommon, but it can happen if the system was forced apart), order one of each. The full set is also included in the Pressure Gauge Kit if you’re rebuilding the whole gauge system.

Fitting and removing the tube

Both fittings use the standard Parker Legris push-to-connect mechanism. To insert the tube, push it firmly into the collar until it seats. To remove it, press down on the locking collar and simultaneously pull the tube straight out. Forcing the tube out without depressing the collar will damage the internal grip ring and leak after reassembly.
