Over Pressure Valve (OPV) Assembly
The OPV regulates the 9-15 bar pressure required for espresso; internal scale buildup or spring fatigue prevents the valve from seating correctly. This leads to water bypassing the group head and returning to the reservoir prematurely or leaking at the threaded connection to the pump. Replacing the assembly restores the hydraulic seal required for high-pressure extraction.

Steam Valve Assembly
The Gaggia steam valve utilizes a metal-to-metal interface that is highly susceptible to pitting from mineral deposits. Once the seat is compromised, the valve will leak a constant drip from the steam wand regardless of how tightly the knob is turned. This is a non-serviceable component in many instances and requires a full valve body replacement.

Group Head Gasket (8.5mm Silicone)
Thermal cycling causes the standard rubber group gasket to harden and crack over time, leading to leaks around the portafilter during the brew cycle. Switching to a high-temp silicone gasket provides a superior hydraulic seal against the portafilter basket, resolving leaks that occur specifically during high-pressure extraction.
