Ideal Blank Flange Gasket 5 Inch 004762

The Ideal 004762 is a 5 inch blank flange gasket supplied for Ideal Commercial appliances. It sits between the blank flange and the mating face, compressing under bolt load to seal the joint against water or system fluid. The gasket is classed by Ideal as a gasket, seal or washer within the spares range and forms part of the sealing arrangement on the flange assembly.

• Weeping or dripping at the flange joint, often visible as a bead of water or a trail of scale down the casing
• Rust staining or corrosion around the flange bolts and mating faces
• The gasket looks flattened, hardened or cracked when the joint is opened
• System pressure drops or the appliance needs topping up more often than normal
• Water tracking onto adjacent components or insulation near the flange

• Check the appliance GC number and model against the compatibility list, as the same flange arrangement appears across several Super Plus variants
• Confirm the existing part number 004762 or the alternative number 1170275 before ordering
• Inspect the flange faces for pitting or distortion while the joint is open, as a damaged face will not seal with a new gasket alone
• Have the correct flange bolts and any associated seals to hand so the joint can be reassembled and torqued in one visit
