It's sold under De'Longhi's own part number, so it's the same piece the factory fitted. Our records don't name the machine models or the exact joint it belongs to, so compare it with your old fitting or the exploded diagram for your model before ordering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhen a coffee machine connection needs replacing\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInside an espresso or bean to cup machine, water and steam travel through short tubes linked by plastic or brass fittings. These connections take repeated heating and cooling, plus pressure from the pump, and over time they crack, distort or lose their grip on the tube. The usual clues are water pooling under the machine, drips inside the casing, hissing or spitting during brewing or steaming, or weak pressure because water is escaping before it reaches the coffee. Limescale build-up can also block or split a fitting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePart details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenuine De'Longhi part 5313218341\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConnection fitting for De'Longhi coffee machines\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExact joint position not recorded, check your parts diagram\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReplace worn seals or O-rings at the joint at the same time\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFitting a new connection\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnplug the machine and let it cool fully, since the boiler and tubes can stay hot for a while.
