What it is

The Ideal 003147 is a brass split pin measuring 1/16 inch by 1 inch, supplied as a boiler spare by Ideal. It is listed against the thermostat pocket, where it retains the pocket or phial assembly in position so the thermostat can sense water temperature accurately. The part sits within the Ideal Mexico and British/Scottish Gas RD2 appliance families and is also referenced under the Henrad and Mexico Super ranges.

Signs this part needs replacing

  • The thermostat pocket or phial feels loose in its housing
  • The existing pin is corroded, bent or missing after a service
  • Boiler temperature control becomes erratic or the appliance cycles unevenly
  • The pocket cannot be held firmly when the thermostat is refitted
  • Visible wear or deformation at the pin legs after removal

Before you order

  • Confirm the GC number on the appliance data badge against the compatibility list
  • Check the model and serial details, as the same appliance family uses several thermostat arrangements
  • Inspect the thermostat pocket and any sealing washer at the same time, since these are disturbed when the pin is removed
