The Quick Mill Vibratory Pump Air Release Valve is a small but essential component for priming and maintaining consistent pressure in vibratory pump espresso machines. This OEM part is engineered to release trapped air from the pump chamber during initial startup or after the water reservoir has run dry — ensuring smooth operation and preventing damage to the pump motor.
If you own a Lucca X58, Lucca Tempo, Lucca Solo, or similar Quick Mill-manufactured machine, this is the exact valve specified by the factory. It's a direct replacement for part number PL08700VA, and it's designed to restore your machine to factory performance with no modification required.

When You Need This Part
This valve is typically replaced when a vibratory pump has difficulty priming after the water reservoir runs empty, or when air becomes trapped in the pump chamber during routine use. Symptoms include weak flow, sputtering during extraction, or a pump that runs but doesn't build pressure. Replacing the air release valve is a straightforward repair that often resolves priming issues without needing to replace the entire pump assembly.
