Ideal Rear Insulation 170315

The Ideal 170315 is a rear insulation panel supplied for Ideal Commercial appliances. It sits against the rear casing of the unit and reduces heat transfer away from the combustion area, helping the appliance hold its operating temperatures and protecting surrounding components from prolonged heat exposure.

Insulation of this type is a service item rather than a moving part. It degrades over time through heat cycling and moisture, so it is normally replaced during a strip-down or burner service when the original panel has broken down.

• The panel is crumbling, flaking or breaking up when touched during a service
• Visible scorching, charring or heavy discolouration across the insulation surface
• The panel has cracked, sagged or pulled away from the rear casing
• Damp or softened insulation, often after a leak or prolonged condensation
• Exposed metal or bare casing where the insulation has eroded away

• Confirm the appliance model and serial number against the compatibility list before ordering, as several Viceroy variants use different insulation sets
• Check the number on the existing panel: 170315 and 82294005 refer to the same item
• Inspect the surrounding seals and gaskets while the appliance is open, as these are commonly disturbed during removal
• Retain the old panel until the replacement is offered up, so the orientation and fixing points can be matched
