{"product_id":"as00002818-genuine-delonghi-connection-fitting","title":"AS00002818 Genuine Connection Fitting for De'Longhi Coffee Machines, DeLonghi Pipe and Hose Connector Replacement","description":"\u003cp\u003eListed by De'Longhi simply as a connection, AS00002818 is a genuine fitting that we stock with our De'Longhi coffee machine parts. Fittings like this join tubes, pipes or components inside the machine so water and steam stay where they belong. We don't have compatible models on file for it, so compare it with your old fitting, or find AS00002818 in your model's exploded view, before placing an order.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhen a connection fitting needs replacing\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSmall fittings take a lot of punishment inside a coffee machine. They sit in hot water and steam lines, get heated and cooled every day and are pulled on whenever a hose is removed during a service. Plastic fittings can crack or go brittle, threads strip, and the sealing faces can scale up or wear. The result is usually a slow leak inside the case, a puddle under the machine, a hiss when the pump runs or a hose that blows off. Swapping a cracked fitting costs far less than water damage to the electronics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePart details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenuine De'Longhi part number AS00002818\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConnection fitting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStocked with De'Longhi coffee machine parts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCheck the shape and number against the old fitting before ordering\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eChanging a connection\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnplug the machine, let it cool and empty the tank first. Put a towel under the work area, since lines often hold some water. Note how the fitting is clipped or screwed in and which way it faces, and take a photo. Replace any O-rings or clips that look tired. Run water through before brewing and check the joint stays dry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eQuestions about this part\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs this the fitting I need?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eConnections often look alike but differ in size, angle or thread.
