It carries the gasket that holds back the steam when the tap is closed, and guides it cleanly onto its seat with every movement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHere, wear shows up as a feeling in your wrist: the knob no longer turns silky smooth, it catches. Later a faint hiss appears that stays even after closing the tap – and tightening harder does not make it better but worse, because the gasket takes additional damage in the process.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhen it is due\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe tap hisses or drips when closed. The knob is stiff, jerky or has play. A freshly replaced gasket only lasts a few weeks. Grooves or wear marks are visible on the shaft. Or the machine is going in for an overhaul and the steam valve assembly is to be done completely at the same time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAt a glance\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"ccc-compare-table\"\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eType\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eValve spindle for the steam and water tap\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eInstallation location\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSteam and water valve assembly, behind the knob\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eFits\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRocket Premium Plus and Evoluzione\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eScope of delivery\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOne spindle.
