Thanks for the video. Thankfully there's a vendor here in Europe that supplies it with kit already installed. Only for the models with a water tank though - not direct plumbed. Would love to see a video showing how to mod the Oscar II to autofill.
I've fitted my Bypass/OVP on my Nuova Simonelli Oscar 2! Thanks for your insightful video. It really helped me understand the importance of the bypass valve and also how easy it is to do. The only issue I had was with the elbow as who ever put my machine together at the factory used a hell of lot of thread locker/lock tight on it! I also chose to put a silicon tube that can handle temperatures of up to 200 degrees Celsius on my bypass valve (to the water tank) just to be extra safe. My espresso extraction is now perfect and I've never had such nice tasting shots!
Hello! Is it possible for you to share exactly where you got your materials? I just bought this machine and was baffled how I couldn’t pull a decent shot either... that would help me so much if you could point me in the right direction! Thanks!
@@coolcatwbc I used the Vibiemme domobar opv/bypass valve and it fits perfect without any real modding. It's a tight fit but I didn't need to change/cut anything. I bought thread lock and heat resistant silicon tube from Amazon with an internal 5mm diameter. And the opv from www.theespressoshop.co.uk/Mobile/en/Vibiemme-Bypass-Valve-ø-18M-18F----ASSBYPASSNEW/m-m-4414.aspx?PartnerID=22&gclid=Cj0KCQjwhr2FBhDbARIsACjwLo116FL77Txi3wAxrq6405BldBG21nfRme7UqmFpces1SheHdLq0AccaArO0EALw_wcB&UnitedKingdom. Hope this helps.
I want to change the OVP valve on my 1,5 year old Oscar 2, but am a little concerned about residual water in the machine circuit when I turn the Oscar 2 over for adding the valve. Is there anything specific I need to do before playing around with the pump other than removing the water tank and letting the boiler cool down?
@@coastcafeequipment the elbow piece isn't moving at all. I tried pliers on the elbow piece and a wrench on the gold piece, but it won't move and I'm afraid of breaking something. Do you have any advice?
I just opened my Oscar 2, pulled a couple of terrible shots, then kept the machine on for 30 minutes and it started purging all of its water through the bottom of the machine. No leaks in the tubes that I can see, but would the OPV rectify this issue? Thanks so much for your effort
Thanks for the video. But now the machine does not heat up. Only the left light is turn on. It was working early. After two days I did try turning on and I can hear the pump working and I quickly turn off coz I thought there's no water. Anyway I add some water and turn on and it's not boiling and the left light is turn on only. Appreciate if you could assist me. Thank you again.
Most of the other videos seem to just install the OPV up the top so you simply just pull off side cover no need to turn upside down or run return hose into tank as they place a t junction down the bottom for the water return eg ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-4weYDjhQi98.htmlsi=6aZUZ48pU53_uEk0 Is there any advantage to having the OPV closer to the pump like youve done?
