How do I install and adapt the BK Tee?


Tee Installation

Our EM is usually installed on the short side of the Tee marked with BK.

Make sure the Tee is fully seated and the O-ring is properly positioned before tightening.

Function of the Red O-Rings

Red O-rings are installed on the ports of the T-splitter to:

  • Improve sealing integrity

  • Prevent water leakage during extraction

They are essential components and should not be removed during installation.

Notes

  1. Thread Type is the key factor for compatibility, not machine brand or group head type.

  2. E61 describes the group head type only; compatibility depends on the gauge and EM thread.

  3. Non-standard or model-specific interfaces (e.g., Cafelat Robot) must use the original manufacturer’s parts for proper sealing.

  4. For best results and leak prevention, always use the BOOKOO pressure gauge included in the Tee kit unless otherwise noted.

How to Tell the Difference Between an M9 Tee and a G1/8 Tee?

You can distinguish them visually by the thread size—the G1/8 thread is noticeably thicker than the M9 thread.

If you have a vernier caliper, you can also measure the thread diameter for a more accurate identification.
