Ideal Thermostat Pocket 1/2 Inch 153460

The Ideal 153460 is a 1/2 inch thermostat pocket used across the Ideal Commercial Falcon range. It forms the housing that holds the thermostat sensor or phial in contact with the appliance waterway, so the control can read system temperature accurately. The pocket is a serviceable item and is listed against Falcon GTE and GTE4 appliances, including combi and burner-specific variants.

• Temperature readings that drift from the actual flow or stored water temperature
• The appliance short-cycling or failing to hold a steady setpoint
• The sensor or phial sitting loose in the pocket instead of a firm fit
• Scale, sludge or corrosion inside the pocket reducing heat transfer to the sensor
• Weeping or damp staining around the pocket thread where it screws into the waterway

• Confirm the part number 153460 against your appliance's parts list before ordering
• Check the previous number 85000027 and alternative number 1177017 in case your documentation lists either of these
• Verify your model against the compatibility list, as the Falcon GTE and GTE4 ranges use several burner and combi configurations
• Inspect the pocket thread and sealing face on removal, as a replacement seal may be needed to refit the pocket cleanly
