Ideal Union Elbow 1 1/4 Inch 003634

The Ideal 003634 is a union elbow with a 1 1/4 inch connection, produced for Ideal Commercial appliances and listed under the Caradon manufacturing code 3634. It is the angled fitting that joins two sections of pipework while allowing the joint to be split for servicing or component removal. The part carries the DF/GF96 designation in its listing and is used across the Concord Super Series 4 range.

• Weeping or visible moisture at the union joint, with or without a drip tray underneath
• Corrosion, pitting or heavy scale around the elbow body or threads
• The union nut will not tighten cleanly, or the joint cannot be remade without leaking
• Damp staining or water tracking on adjacent panels, insulation or pipework
• A gradual loss of system pressure traced back to the fitting

• Confirm the appliance model against the compatibility list, and check the GC number on the data badge where one is shown.
• Verify the existing elbow is a 1 1/4 inch union and that the thread form and angle match before ordering.
• Cross-reference the alternative number 1170115 if you are working from older service documentation or a parts list.
• Check the condition of the existing sealing washer or gasket at the joint, as a replacement seal may be needed when the union is remade.
