Hello all Is there a OPV that I can use as a upgrade/replacement for the OEM valve in a Delonghi BAR32?
I have found a few online but they look as if I may need to change fittings. The valves I have found thus far are for *other brand, better, more expensive machines.
I'd like to use one of the brass valves as a upgrade/replacement but not sure which one to use and was hoping someone could point me in the right direction.
In all honesty, your money would be much better spent if you put it and some more into another machine. Yours is pretty much a use it till it breaks and throw away machine, sorry for being brutally honest.

She describes the valve as part number "E614." I wasn't able to find a US source for that valve online. Some modification of the valve was required; as were adapters to get things to couple together. If you try to follow their work by analogy, it may be possible to replace the stock Delonghi part with a brass bit.
But if you find that valve (or the even beefier model used in the Quickmill Andreja -- see below), and a way to fit that valve inside the Delonghi's housing, you may find it costs half as much as a new BAR32.
