What it is

The Ideal 172038 is a complete 12-section boiler body, listed by the manufacturer as a heat exchanger assembly. It is the main heat transfer component of the appliance, taking heat from combustion and passing it into the system water. This part is used across the Ideal Commercial Concord range of floor-standing commercial boilers.

Signs this part needs replacing

  • Water weeping or visible damp around the boiler body or section joints
  • Repeated loss of system pressure with no obvious external leak elsewhere
  • Kettling, banging or rumbling noises during firing
  • Poor heat output or the appliance failing to reach temperature
  • Corrosion, scale build-up or staining across the sections

Before you order

  • Confirm the appliance model and serial number against the compatibility list, as this body is used across several Concord variants.
  • Check the number on the existing part against 8358-5504, the previous number for this item.
  • Allow for the seals and gaskets needed to rebuild the appliance when the body is replaced.
