Ideal Flange Gasket 50Nb 004595

The Ideal 004595 is a 50Nb flange gasket used on Ideal Commercial appliances. It sits between mating flange faces on the pipework or casting joint, where it compresses to form a fluid-tight seal and stops water weeping from the joint under normal operating pressure and temperature.

It is a service item rather than a control component, so it is normally replaced whenever the flange joint is broken for repair or inspection work on the Ideal Commercial Super Plus and Module Super Plus range.

• Water or staining around the flange joint, with a drip or weep that returns after the joint is dried
• Visible flattening, cracking, splitting or hardening of the gasket material when the joint is opened
• Gasket stuck to one flange face and breaking up as the joint is separated
• A joint that continues to seep after the flange bolts have been re-torqued to specification
• Reassembly of a disturbed joint where the original gasket cannot be reused

• Check the appliance GC number against 41-415-68 or 41-415-69, and confirm the model in the compatibility list below before ordering
• Confirm the flange size on the appliance is 50Nb, as the gasket is sized to suit that joint
• The alternative number 1170240 may appear on older Ideal documentation or parts listings for the same item
• Have the appliance serial number and model to hand when checking the part against the installation
