Tube D-5x8 Teflon L.150 Fil.M8 (15451025)

TUBE D-8X5 TEFLON L.150 SO.15452006 (also referenced as part number 15451025) is a precision-engineered replacement tube designed specifically for Astoria espresso machines. Crafted from high-quality Teflon (PTFE), this tube features an internal diameter of 5mm and an external diameter of 8mm, with a length of 150mm, making it an ideal component for maintaining optimal fluid flow within the machine’s complex hydraulic system. The use of Teflon ensures excellent thermal stability and chemical resistance, which is critical in the high-temperature, high-pressure environment of espresso extraction.

One of the key benefits of this Teflon tube is its durability and flexibility under demanding conditions. The material’s non-reactive nature prevents flavor contamination, preserving the integrity of the coffee's taste profile. Moreover, Teflon’s smooth interior surface reduces friction and resists build-up of coffee oils and residues, thereby minimizing maintenance intervals and improving the overall reliability of the espresso machine. This makes the TUBE D-8X5 TEFLON an essential spare part for professional baristas and coffee shops that rely on consistent machine performance during high-volume service hours.

In terms of usage context, this tube is typically employed in the water or steam circuits within Astoria espresso machines, connecting key components like boilers, valves, and group heads. Its precise dimensions and material specifications ensure a secure fit and leak-free operation, helping to maintain consistent pressure levels and flow rates crucial for quality espresso extraction. Available for purchase on Kaldi.com, this part is a practical investment for anyone looking to extend the lifespan of their Astoria machine or address specific maintenance needs with original, manufacturer-compatible components.
