Thanks for the video. Thankfully there's a vendor here in Europe that supplies it with kit already installed. Only for the models with a water tank though - not direct plumbed. Would love to see a video showing how to mod the Oscar II to autofill.
I've fitted my Bypass/OVP on my Nuova Simonelli Oscar 2! Thanks for your insightful video. It really helped me understand the importance of the bypass valve and also how easy it is to do. The only issue I had was with the elbow as who ever put my machine together at the factory used a hell of lot of thread locker/lock tight on it! I also chose to put a silicon tube that can handle temperatures of up to 200 degrees Celsius on my bypass valve (to the water tank) just to be extra safe. My espresso extraction is now perfect and I've never had such nice tasting shots!
Hello! Is it possible for you to share exactly where you got your materials? I just bought this machine and was baffled how I couldn’t pull a decent shot either... that would help me so much if you could point me in the right direction! Thanks!
@@coolcatwbc I used the Vibiemme domobar opv/bypass valve and it fits perfect without any real modding. It's a tight fit but I didn't need to change/cut anything. I bought thread lock and heat resistant silicon tube from Amazon with an internal 5mm diameter. And the opv from www.theespressoshop.co.uk/Mobile/en/Vibiemme-Bypass-Valve-ø-18M-18F----ASSBYPASSNEW/m-m-4414.aspx?PartnerID=22&gclid=Cj0KCQjwhr2FBhDbARIsACjwLo116FL77Txi3wAxrq6405BldBG21nfRme7UqmFpces1SheHdLq0AccaArO0EALw_wcB&UnitedKingdom.

I want to change the OVP valve on my 1,5 year old Oscar 2, but am a little concerned about residual water in the machine circuit when I turn the Oscar 2 over for adding the valve. Is there anything specific I need to do before playing around with the pump other than removing the water tank and letting the boiler cool down?
@@coastcafeequipment the elbow piece isn't moving at all. I tried pliers on the elbow piece and a wrench on the gold piece, but it won't move and I'm afraid of breaking something. Do you have any advice?
I just opened my Oscar 2, pulled a couple of terrible shots, then kept the machine on for 30 minutes and it started purging all of its water through the bottom of the machine. No leaks in the tubes that I can see, but would the OPV rectify this issue? Thanks so much for your effort
Thanks for the video. But now the machine does not heat up. Only the left light is turn on. It was working early. After two days I did try turning on and I can hear the pump working and I quickly turn off coz I thought there's no water. Anyway I add some water and turn on and it's not boiling and the left light is turn on only. Appreciate if you could assist me. Thank you again.
Most of the other videos seem to just install the OPV up the top so you simply just pull off side cover no need to turn upside down or run return hose into tank as they place a t junction down the bottom for the water return eg th-cam.com/video/4weYDjhQi98/w-d-xo.htmlsi=6aZUZ48pU53_uEk0 Is there any advantage to having the OPV closer to the pump like youve done?

Wait the Oscar doesn’t auto fill?

Yes silicon tube is what I used, I may have said something else. It does need to be heat proof silicon

@@kennyhills8002 Enormously. Thank you sir!
@@coolcatwbc You're very welcome. ☺️
Thanks for the video!
Can anyone direct me to the specific parts needed and where to find them? Perhaps Amazon? Thank you in advance!
Do you have a part number of the opv you used?
Thank you very much
Should I get oscar 2 or pay more for the musica or rocket appartamento?
9:43 why is the group head leaking?
Thanks for the informative video. Is this OPV set permanently at 9 Bar? If not, wouldn't you need a pressure gauge to set it?
Yes u would need a pressure gauge if you don't have a perfect grind already set which can be used to dial in the pressure 😉

That should be fine. Nothing else required

Wd40, and elbow grease ( more force) . They use liquid seal tape can be a little hard to crack
Does the Musica have the same problem and can I use your method on the Musica ?
Believe the musica has the bypass valve installed from factory
Hi, does adding the OPV affect the machines ability to steam?
nope
Nope.

Not sure where it's purging, unless you show me

Wiggle the float in the water tank
By the looks of it, that OPV should've work on Musica as well, doesn't it?
It works pretty much on any machine. The main thing is whether its dimensions fit.
Good afternoon. Nice job 👍🏼. Where I can purchase the bypass valve ? Thanks for the video
If in Australia try Esppresso mechanics, or coffee parts. The bypass was used in the big brother " musica". Other machines have them as well
Where to buy..any link to 9 bar bypass valve?
Check with the retailer of your machine in your country. The Musica has one fitted from the factory, so should be no problem to get one from them.
For an experienced technician it's like a breeze of air.
But, does the coffee taste better afterwards?
Its just easer to make a good espresso with 9 bar.

Is there any advantage to having the OPV closer to the pump like youve done?
Yes, I would like to know as well

Contact your local supplier, the part is standard in the Simonelli Musica, so should be available as a spare part
