Lelit Safety Valve 5.5 bar

My machine's pressure was creeping past 9 bar during extraction, and swapping in this 5.5 bar valve fixed it on the first shot. The brass threads seated cleanly with no leaks, and the whole install took under ten minutes.

Was pleasantly surprised how easy it was to swap out the old valve — the 5.5 bar rating got my espresso back to proper pressure instantly.

My machine's pressure has been sitting at a steady 5.5 bar since I swapped this in, and the brass fitting threads were machined clean enough that I didn't need any extra sealant. It's a relief knowing the safety valve is doing its job properly again.
