Ideal Reducing Bush 2 1/2 x 1/2 065860

The Ideal 065860 is a reducing bush used in Ideal commercial boiler assemblies. It steps pipework or fittings down between two different thread sizes, in this case from 2 1/2 inch to 1/2 inch, allowing components of differing connection sizes to be joined within the appliance. It is listed under Ideal's adaptors and connectors range and is used across the Buccaneer, Harrier, Viceroy and Falcon commercial families.

• Weeping or visible water at the threaded joint after the appliance has run
• Corrosion, scale or mineral build-up around the bush body or threads
• Cross-threaded or flattened threads caused by over-tightening on a previous repair
• A joint that continues to leak after being re-made and re-sealed
• Difficulty getting the mating fitting to seat squarely when reassembling pipework

• Confirm the appliance model and serial number against the compatibility list before ordering.
• Compare the thread sizes on the old bush with the 2 1/2 x 1/2 inch specification to be sure of the match.
• Quote part number 065860, or the previous number 82020028, when checking against older Ideal documentation.
• Inspect the joint being remade for a separate sealing washer before reassembly.
