Ideal Rod Assembly 14mm Dia 2736mm 066121

The Ideal 066121 is a rod assembly built for Ideal Commercial appliances, listed by the manufacturer under the rods and spindles part group. It is a long, 14mm diameter rod supplied in 23 sections with an overall length of 2736mm, and it forms part of the mechanical linkage that transfers movement through the appliance. The assembly is used across the Ideal Commercial CFE and Viscount ES ranges, where the rod operates the linked controls and damper gear inside the casing.

• The rod no longer moves freely, or the linked control feels stiff, notchy or seized through its travel.
• Visible bending, bowing or distortion along the length of the rod.
• Corrosion, pitting or heavy surface rust on the rod, particularly where it passes through the casing.
• The appliance control does not reach its full open or closed position, so the setting cannot be made reliably.
• The rod has become detached or loose at one of its joints or fixing points.

• Confirm the appliance model and, where available, the GC number or serial number against the compatibility list before ordering.
• Check that the number on the existing rod matches 066121 or the alternative number 80158923.
• Inspect the seals, bushes and gaskets at the point where the rod enters the casing, as these are often disturbed during replacement.
