Product Overview

The MacMaxe Metal Solenoid Valve Top Connector is designed for compatible Breville espresso machines that use the SP0001618 style fitting.

This fitting installs on top of the 3-way solenoid valve and connects into the internal tubing system. It is a durable metal alternative to the original plastic-style connector, which can crack, become brittle, leak, or break over time.

If your original top connector is damaged or leaking, this replacement fitting can help restore a secure connection and proper machine operation. The metal construction provides a stronger repair option compared with the common plastic version.

Important sealing note: PTFE thread seal tape, commonly called Teflon tape, is required on the threaded solenoid valve connection to help prevent leaking. The tube connection side is a Quick Release Connector and does not require tape.

Compatible with select Breville espresso machines including BES840, BES860, BES870, BES900, BES920, BES980, BES990 and other models using the same SP0001618 style connector.

Compatible with machines that use part numbers: SP0001618, SP0001406, BES840/147.

Known compatible models may include: RMBES920BSXL, BES920SHY1BUS1, BES920XL, RMBES920SST1BCA1, BES920BSP1BUS2, RMBES920CBXL, BES920SST1BCA1, RMBES920BSS1BCA1, BES920CNP1BUS2, BES920BTR1BUS1, BES920BKS1BCA1, BES920CRN1BCA1, BES920CBXL, BES920BSXL, BES920BTR1BCA1, BES900BSS1BCA1, and other compatible versions.

Fitment Note

This part fits only machines that use the same top connector fitting on the 3-way solenoid valve. Please compare your old fitting to the listing photos before ordering. If your original part looks different, this item may not fit.

Installation Note

Professional installation is recommended if you are not familiar with espresso machine repair. Always unplug the machine, allow it to cool, and make sure the system is depressurized before service.

Important: Apply PTFE thread seal tape, commonly called Teflon tape, to the threaded solenoid valve connection before installation to help prevent leaking. Do not apply tape to the tube connection side, because the tube side uses a Quick Release Connector. Install carefully and tighten to a secure fit without overtightening.
