Ideal Assembly Rod 14mm x 2021mm 17 Section 066115

The Ideal 066115 is an assembly rod measuring 14 mm in diameter and 2021 mm in length, produced for 17-section boiler assemblies. It forms part of the section clamping arrangement on Ideal Commercial appliances, where rods of this type hold the boiler sections together under load. The rod is listed under the rods and spindles category of the Ideal spares range.

• Weeping or staining at the joint between boiler sections, indicating the clamping load has been lost.
• Visible corrosion, pitting or thread damage along the rod.
• The rod has stretched or deformed and no longer pulls the sections together squarely.
• Difficulty sealing the section joints when the appliance is reassembled.
• The rod is seized or badly rusted in place, making strip-down of the section assembly difficult.

• Confirm the appliance model and the number of sections in the assembly; this rod is sized for a 17-section build.
• Check the previous part number 80158917 against any existing documentation or parts list.
• Measure the existing rod diameter and length before ordering to confirm the 14 mm x 2021 mm size is correct.
• Section work on commercial appliances should be carried out by a suitably qualified engineer.
