Ideal Mounting Plate Stud M8 x 60mm 013773

The Ideal 013773 is an M8 x 60mm mounting plate stud supplied by Ideal for use on its commercial boiler range. It is a threaded fastener that locates and secures the appliance mounting plate, holding the boiler body firmly against the wall bracket or frame so the heat exchanger and casing sit square and stable.

Because the stud carries the weight of the appliance at the mounting points, it is a load-bearing item rather than a general fixing. It is listed under Ideal's bolts, nuts and screws category and is used across the Ideal Commercial Super Plus family.

• The mounting plate is loose or the appliance rocks slightly on its bracket when checked by hand.
• Threads on the stud are stripped, flattened or cross-threaded, so the nut will not torque down cleanly.
• Visible corrosion or pitting on the stud where it passes through the plate or bracket.
• The stud has sheared or bent, usually found when the boiler is removed for a heat exchanger or casing job.
• The nut spins freely without clamping the plate, indicating the thread has failed.

• Confirm the appliance GC number against the compatibility list, as the same commercial range uses several fixing variants.
• Check the stud dimensions on the appliance - M8 x 60mm is the size specified for this code, and a shorter or longer stud will not seat the plate correctly.
• Note the alternative number 1170548 when cross-referencing an older parts list or a factor's catalogue.
• If the mounting plate is being refitted, inspect the retaining nuts and washers at the same time, as they are usually disturbed during the same job.
