Overview

This is the protective metal sleeve that slides over the flexible Parker Legris tube on the Cafelat Robot Barista. The sleeve guards the section of tube most exposed to damage during normal use, the part that runs alongside the lever arm. The included self-adhesive hook is a small white plasticised aluminium cable clip that wraps around the sleeve and sticks to the lever, holding the whole assembly in place so it doesn’t flop into the working area.

When you actually need this

The sleeve typically fails in one of three ways: the tube inside it gets pinched, the tube gets cut or nicked while you’re working around the machine, or the tube gets caught between the lever arms during a pull. If the sleeve itself is dented, scratched, or the adhesive hook has lost its grip, this replacement sorts it out. If only the inner tube is damaged, you can usually slide a new tube into the existing sleeve and skip this part, the Parker Legris replacement tube is sold separately.
