Rancilio Composite Paper Heating Element Gasket
This paper-composite gasket is the forgiving option for heating element service on older or slightly warped boiler surfaces, where a PTFE gasket might not seal reliably. It's discontinued by Rancilio, but remains far more compression-forgiving than PTFE on questionable surfaces — the tradeoff is that it can be tough to remove once compressed for a long stretch.
SPECIFICATIONS
- 63 x 48 x 2 mm
COMPATIBILITY
- Fits: Rancilio heating element mounting flange
INSTALLATION
Straightforward DIY task during element replacement, though budget extra time for gasket removal if the machine hasn't been serviced in years.
PRO TIPS
- If the old gasket won't budge, don't force it with metal tools against the boiler face — soak it or use a plastic scraper to avoid scratching the sealing surface.
