Ideal Cleaning Trap Right Hand 170288

The Ideal 170288 is a right-hand cleaning trap supplied for Ideal Commercial appliances. It forms part of the casing assembly on the appliance and sits in the water circuit, where it traps sediment, sludge and loose debris carried round the system. Removing and cleaning the trap keeps that debris out of the heat exchanger and the wider hydraulic components.

This is the right-hand version, so it is handed and will only fit the position it was designed for. It is used across the Ideal Commercial Viceroy GT range and related GT10 variants.

• The trap no longer holds a seal and water weeps from the housing or the joint face.
• Visible cracking, distortion or corrosion on the trap body or its seating.
• Repeated blockages in the same area of the water circuit despite cleaning.
• Debris passing through to the heat exchanger or downstream components.
• Difficulty refitting the trap securely after routine cleaning.

• Confirm the appliance model and serial number against the compatibility list, as the trap is handed and the left-hand version is a different part.
• Check the previous number 82298908 on the old component or in the appliance documentation before ordering.
• Inspect the sealing faces and any gasket or O-ring at the same time, as these are usually disturbed when the trap is removed.
