Gaggia Classic or Pro (inc Evo 2023) solenoid valve adapter and pressure gauge installation tutorial

This is my personal experience regarding the installation of two of our best selling products: the brass custom made solenoid valve adapter plus the black mask pressure gauge (white mask also available).
On older pre 2007 machines, the adapter might not work, since some machines have the old bigger solenoid valve installed.

A few tips and very important safety measures:

Remember after hardware installation to put everything to safety and to use electrical tape (or any heat insulation) and our plastic power cord protection, in order to isolate your work from high heat and water.
Zip ties can help you contain and put the wires to safety and not have loosen wires inside the machine.
Make sure no wire touches directly the metal case or boiler body.

Make sure BEFORE using the machine daily, that the installed parts or components do NOT have any water / pressure leak present that could permanently damage inside components.
Check all wires, bolts and connections BEFORE using the any of our products.
