Ideal Union Gas Cock 1 Inch BSP D/F 004098

The Ideal 004098 is a 1 inch BSP D/F union gas cock supplied as a spare for Ideal Commercial boiler appliances. It sits on the gas supply inlet to the appliance and provides a means of isolating the gas feed for servicing, commissioning and fault finding. The union connection allows the cock to be broken and remade at the appliance without disturbing the fixed pipework.

• A gas smell or a joint that bubbles under a leak-detection fluid test at the union or body.
• Visible corrosion, pitting or a damp stain around the cock body or union nut.
• The handle is stiff, seized or turns without any change in gas flow.
• The gas supply cannot be positively isolated when the appliance is serviced.
• Discolouration or heat damage on the body or the adjacent pipework.

• Check the GC number on the appliance data plate against the compatibility list to confirm the correct variant.
• Confirm the part number 004098 or the alternative code 1170168 before ordering.
• Check whether a replacement sealing washer or gasket is needed for the union joint, as the old one is normally disturbed on removal.
• This part is fitted to a gas appliance; installation must be carried out by a Gas Safe registered engineer.
