  • Having an issue with the pressurestat in my old Fracino HX machine, it sticks and doesn't shut the boiler off when it should. Figure I might have to replace it (though cleaning the contacts worked the last time), but its a Sirai and those are expensive/hard to find. I've read Mater's aren't so bad and they're a lot easier to get ahold of. Anyone have experience swapping a Sirai pstat out for a Mater; given they're both just pressure-activated switches is it just a case of take the thing out, put the new thing in, connect the wires back, and done? I'm presuming the thread sizes for the diaphragm end are standard..?

  • Can't help specifically on your machine, but have changed pstats in Pavonis before (older ones seemed a lot heavier, solid state?) compared to what's available now but all OK and works the same. Can't guarantee it'll last 40 years like the old one but its what's available and it works.
