Ideal Gas Cock RC1 x RC1 Female 077045

The Ideal 077045 is a gas cock — an isolation valve that sits on the gas supply to the appliance and lets the gas be shut off locally for servicing, tightness testing and repair work. It is produced for the Ideal Commercial Concord range and carries the Caradon manufacturing reference. The body takes RC1 x RC1 female connections, so it threads directly onto the corresponding gas line fittings on the appliance.

• A gas smell around the valve body or spindle when the appliance is running.
• The valve will not turn, or turns with excessive force, so the gas cannot be isolated cleanly.
• A pressure drop on a tightness test traced to the gas cock rather than the pipework.
• Weeping or staining at the spindle or connection joints.
• The valve passes gas when in the closed position, so the appliance cannot be isolated for service work.

• Check the appliance GC number and model against the compatibility list, as the same part number is used across several Concord variants.
• Note the alternative number 1174430 when cross-referencing older documentation or stock records.
• Confirm the connection size on the appliance before fitting, as the valve is supplied with RC1 x RC1 female ends.
• This part is fitted to a gas appliance; installation must be carried out by a Gas Safe registered engineer.
