Inlet valve for W185
from S/N 9508/011935

The water inlets have brass bodies with larger

cross section of the outlet in order to achieve a

shorter filling time for the machine.

Construction

The valve housing is made of pressed brass. The

spring-loaded plunger is made of stainless steel

and located at its lower end.

Operation

The valve is automatically operated by means of

a rubber diaphragm and a pilot valve in exactly

the same way as the supply injector valve.

NOTE: To strip, clean, re-assemble and

troubleshoot the inlet valve, follow the

instructions outlined for the supply injector

valve.
