My pressure value is loose and will not stay down to build pressure. Any way to fix this?

The only option I can think of is to replace the seal around the valve, but I would check on the Bialetti website to see if there is a way to contact them with this question.

No I have the same problem! It appears to be a flaw that they did not attempt to fix. I did take a pair of plyers (water pumps) and snuged it up and that does hold some what better.

You're lifting the handle too far. Lift it slowly to acquire the amount of pressure you desire. Also, if you have the 2 nozzle version, switch to the other setting to see which feels better to you.

Sorry, no I do not - I have just begun working on a project with the block(s). I will be using low flow so pressure drop should not be much of an issue for me. Sorry. I does appears to be very well made.

The best way that I use to release the pressure is with a chopstick. Put the stick in and push down. Works perfectly.I hope that was helpful.

I've never had that problem, although the pressure is quite high when I open the valve completely. Have you tried just opening the dial a tiny bit at first and slowly opening it to the desired pressure?

The pressure regulator knob is suppose to be loose to help release steam - just like on the ones you use on the stove - those are loose also. Hope that helps. D.Wertz

No, this model does not hold pressure. Good unit though. I have the same model that does, but its a fair amount more expensive.

I have one of these Upholstery Nailers and don't have this issue but you can control the pressure with an inline regulator which I have on mine, it's at the end of the hose nearest to the gun with a quick disconnect.... Hope this assist you somehow.

Sounds as though the pressure reducer on your supply to the house is restricting too much, may need resetting or replacement....

Air tools should have inline pressure regulators so you can control the pressure. I have this so I have not had a problem with it.

Not that I know of. There could be something stuck in the two tracks that go down the central support. Or maybe the adjustment nuts at the top that control the pressure have gotten out of whack.

A big problem is that one has no idea what the temperature and pressure actually is. There is no read out of either. You have to take is on faith and that is not worth the risk. Get a GoWISE it has a real time pressure readout.

I am having the same problem with mine. My friend tested it and found it works okay at some water pressures but not others.

Wrap the air hose outlet with the supplied Teflon tape put it on thick this will This should give a quarter to half less rotation just play with it then hook it up and it should hold pressure

Am so sorry I cannot answer your question. I bought this as a gift for my son. Guessing you have kind of a vapor lock. Maybe put a very thin knife in and try to release the pressure that has built up. Know I need to do that when I open goods I have canned. Good luck.

We sold our house and I forget, however, I think you can adjust pressure. This is such a cheap product though that I wouldn't recommend it, unfortunately. The finish kept coming off and it was a very chintzy deal. Sorry if this is bad news, but we were very unhappy with the quality...Good luck!
