Ideal Gas Valve 3/4 Inch ASCO CXC 013842

The Ideal 013842 is a solenoid gas valve with a 3/4 inch ASCO CXC connection, supplied for Ideal Commercial Concord CXC series appliances. It sits in the gas train and opens or closes the gas path to the burner under the control of the appliance's sequencing, so the burner only receives gas when there is a proven demand and a safe start condition. The part is listed under both Ideal and Keston branding.

• The appliance fails to light, or lights and then drops out shortly after the burner establishes.
• Repeated lockouts on start-up with the gas train suspected rather than the ignition path.
• Delayed or rough light-up, suggesting the valve is slow to open or not seating cleanly.
• No gas reaching the burner despite a proven demand from the control board.
• Intermittent operation that changes with heat soak or vibration around the valve body.

• Confirm the appliance model and GC number against the compatibility list, as the same valve body is used across several Concord CXC variants.
• Check the alternative number 1170559 against the marking on the valve being replaced.
• Match the 3/4 inch ASCO CXC connection to the existing gas train before fitting.
• Have the appliance recommissioned and the gas train checked after replacement.
• This part is fitted to a gas appliance; installation must be carried out by a Gas Safe registered engineer.
