This steam gasket kit is a group of all genuine OEM Rancilio parts and will fit any Rancilio Silvia. Two of the O-Rings are for the steam valve stem, and on the V1 and V2 Silvias, the other 2 are for where the wand connects to the steam valve. On the Rancilio Silvia V3, you will have 2 O-rings leftover, but you can choose to use one where the tip threads onto the wand.
(4) OR 105 Gasket - 36402001 (1) Steam Cock Gasket - 36302002 (1) Copper 3/8 Gasket - 27350001
Rubber gaskets degrade with age and when placed in high heat and pressure environments, something in plentiful supply inside a steam valve. They can also age prematurely with limescale build-up. Limescale is rock and will create impressions in the rubber. When the limescale breaks loose, the impression remains and can cause a leaky valve. To reduce limescale build-up, always use Properly Treated Water. To remove limescale build-up before it causes additional problems, follow the Descaling procedures in our Knowledge Base.

All the parts were included, they seem to be of good quality, not sure of what else to say. It would have been nice to have a small, single use tube of food grade silicon grease included for the installation so make sure you have some on hand when you do the rebuild. Thanks.
Good experience
The second time I put the two o-rings on the steam wand and carefully worked the o-rings into place before tightening the fitting. The first time I wasn't paying attention and just pushed the steam wand with the o-rings into the fitting cutting both o-rings.
This set was just what I needed to fix the leaking steam wand on my Rancilio Silvia, plus the parts showed up two days earlier than the estimated delivery date. Great job J L Hufford! I would definitely buy again.
Very professional - great communication and really fast!!
