It works mechanically via body, needle and seal – a setting that is made once and should then last for years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen it starts to wear, you notice it in the cup rather than at the valve: the tea water gets too hot or too lukewarm, the temperature drifts over the day, or the setting no longer holds and has to be readjusted constantly. Scale on the needle and a worn sealing surface are the usual causes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhen it is due\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReplace the mixing valve if the temperature can no longer be set stably, if it leaks internally and hot water gets into the cold water path, if the needle is stuck or the thread is worn out, or if the body is weeping. Before you replace the whole valve, it is worth looking at the service kit: often only the body, needle and O-ring need replacing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAt a glance\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"ccc-compare-table\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eType\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMixing valve for the water path\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eInstallation location\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIn the water path between cold and hot water\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eFits\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLa Marzocco machines.

Before opening, the machine is disconnected from the power, cut off from the water supply and allowed to cool down depressurised. After installation, the mixing temperature must be readjusted and checked with a thermometer – we deliberately do not give step-by-step instructions here, because an incorrectly set mixing valve leads to unexpectedly hot water at the outlet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho it is for\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor service workshops that need to teach a machine the right tea water temperature again, and for hospitality businesses giving an older machine a thorough overhaul.
