If you have an older Silvia and would like it to look like the Rancilio Silvia V3, then this is your upgrade. Included in this kit is the fully assembled steam tap/valve body with the new commercial-sized articulating steam wand with removable 1-Hole tip. Rancilio originally fitted the new Silvia with a 3-Hole tip but has since returned to the single hole for better frothing. In addition, we also include in our kit the new ergonomic steam knob. It is much easier to grip than the old Silvia knob. This steam wand upgrade kit is direct from Rancilio, not an aftermarket source, so you can be sure that it will be a perfect fit and also be matched to your Silvia's boiler. If you are mechanically inclined, installation is simple. This part is non-returnable, once delivered. Technical support not included in the price. Please ensure you are up to the task before purchasing.
This Rancilio Silvia steam wand upgrade kit includes the entire steam valve tap and body fully assembled with the new commercial steam wand and 1-hole removable steam tip found on the Silvia V3. It also includes the new ergonomic steam knob, which does make a big difference in grip. Rancilio originally released the Silvia V3 with a 3-hole tip but has since backpedaled after tests revealed the 1-hole tip outperforming the 3. In addition, the 1-hole tip is more convenient for dispensing hot water. Both parts will fit any Rancilio Silvia espresso machine. General mechanical knowledge will be useful when performing this task.

Great customer service . Fair pricing and my Gen 1 Silvia will brew for another 17 years
V1 steam wand was harder to keep clean daily and the valve on mine was starting to get finicky. I decided to upgrade instead of cleaning and taking it apart. JL Hufford shipped extremely fast, I think within 2 days it was at my door. Very pleased with the whole shopping experience and product.
First off, I loved dealing with JL Hufford and would have no problem recommending them. Now onto the steam Wand. I'm quite sure that I have a Gen. 2 Silvia. That being said, there is no way you are getting this installe without some modification. I needed to enlarge the hole in the sheet metal underneath where the steam wand is fastened with the 18 mm nut. I did it with a rasp (can be purchased at most hardware stores) chucked up into a drill. Once I enlarged the hole, I was able to start the nut and tighten it with a wrench. There are some You Tube videos that may help a bit but I did not see anything mentioning this problem. Hope this can help someone. Of course the part itself is great quality once you get it installed.
Good price, good service and delivery, exactly what I ordered.
Parts arrived extremely fast and very good quality. Would buy from JL Hufford again.
