Ideal Cast Socket Square/Round 078162

The Ideal 078162 is a square/round cast socket supplied as a spare component for Ideal Commercial appliances. It belongs to the caps, plugs and sockets group of parts, and sits within the appliance assembly where it provides a secure seating and connection point. It is used across the Ideal Commercial Concord Super Series range, where it supports dependable day-to-day operation of the unit.

• The socket or cap no longer seats squarely, leaving the joint loose or able to move.
• Visible cracking, pitting or corrosion across the cast body.
• Worn threads or mating faces, so the fitting will not tighten down properly.
• Moisture, dust or debris reaching the connection point.
• Intermittent operation traced back to a degraded connection at this point.

• Confirm the appliance model and serial number against the compatibility list before ordering.
• Check the numbers marked on the old component; 1174631 and N7504 may be quoted in place of 078162.
• Inspect the mating faces on the appliance and note whether a gasket or seal is needed at the joint.
