CMA Steam/water Valve Body

CMA Steam/Water Valve Body

This is the brass valve body used across the CMA platform for steam and hot water valves, the casting that the stem, packing, and control knob all mount to. CMA supplies this same casting to Astoria, Ascaso, Wega, and several other rebadged lines, so don't be surprised to see it cross-referenced under half a dozen different brand catalog numbers.

COMPATIBILITY

• Fits: all CMA equipment steam/water valves
• Replaces: Ascaso AS..36, Astoria/CMA 53003, Lavazza 10066310, LF 1348451, MCE 53003, Nuova Ricambi 700705, Ricambi Gardosi AS143, and Wega W10565/WY53003

INSTALLATION

Technician-level job, you'll need to drain the boiler and disconnect the steam/water lines to swap the body.

PRO TIPS

• Replace the valve body gasket (AS_39) at the same time, you're already breaking that seal to get the body off, and reusing a compressed paper-composite gasket is a common source of a return leak.
• If your machine is badged Ascaso, Astoria, or Wega, this same CMA casting is almost always the correct fit, don't assume you need a brand-specific part number.
