La Pavoni Boiler Flange Removal Tool - RENTAL

La Pavoni Boiler Flange Removal Tool RENTAL

NOTE: This tool will not work on “GEN 1 v1.4” Pavonis due to a clearance issue with the drip tray indentation.

Custom made by our local machinist.

If you add this item to your cart, you are Renting this item. Please see terms at the base of this page. It is also available for purchase on this listing.

Please choose between the options on the drop down menu at the base of this page. Due to our non-refundable payment processing costs when capturing your deposit and the additional shipping cost, we must charge some “rent” on these additions as well:

1. The basic tool that will fit either the P-6 brass flange or the plastic flange that accommodate the bolt-on elements (see top row images below) plus the Hex Bar addition. Rental fee is an additional $5 (deducted from your deposit refund when tools returned).
2. The “combo” tool, which is the basic tool + the add-on plate that will fit the older pre-1978 screw-in element. Rental fee is an additional $5 (deducted from your deposit refund when tools returned). Here's Stefano's You Tube video showing it in action. 

You will need to provide your own 1/2” bar (or large screwdriver) if you do not rent the hex adapter.

This tool has an 80mm clearance between the pins, and it is designed to work with plastic flanges, brass* flanges, and our own P-6F aftermarket flange (to retrofit new heating elements onto older machines with fine-threaded boilers). It will NOT work for the very old pot metal flange (see image below).

* Note: Although we have never seen one, we have heard that some old brass flanges have a smaller outside diameter than the current P-6. Each threaded “ear” on the P-6 measure 14mm from the outside to inside edge (widest part), and the widest distance between 2 ears is 93mm. If yours measures smaller, then we cannot guarantee that this tool will fit properly.

Rental Agreement:

Important considerations: the plastic flange itself is no longer available. Therefore, if it breaks during removal or installation, you’ll need to upgrade to the brass flange.

Rental price is $20.00 for two weeks rental time starting from the 1st delivery attempt at the customer’s location through to the day we receive the returned part. Each additional week is $10.00/week. You are responsible for all shipping costs, and we strongly recommend insuring it for its full value. To protect our investment, we will charge full price for the flange up front as if we were selling it to you. Once we receive it back undamaged, we will credit your Paypal account or credit card for the difference. (I.e., for the basic tool: $130. original charge. Credit if received within two weeks after first delivery attempt would be $110.00; credit if received after 3 weeks $100.00, etc.). If you add the hex bar and/or flat plate, each one will be charged a $5 rental fee in addition to the main tool.

By adding this item to your cart and completing your purchase, you agree to the above terms and conditions.

This tool is available for RENTAL ONLY and cannot be shipped outside the USA.

The rental price of this product is not included in the calculation for “shipping included for orders over $200 within contiguous US” offer. If our shopping cart calculates free shipping and the remaining items in your cart do not total over $200, we will manually add shipping costs to your order total.
