Ideal Injector and Housing Kit 170908

The Ideal injector and housing kit, part number 170908, is a gas injector supplied complete with its housing. It sits in the gas train and controls the velocity at which gas reaches the pilot assembly or burner, so the appliance receives the correct flow for clean, stable combustion rather than an excess of fuel.

It is an Ideal spare part used across the Elise, Esprit and Esprit 2 families and a number of other Ideal appliances. The injector is a fixed-calibration component, so the correct part number and GC reference must be matched to the appliance before fitting.

• The pilot flame will not light, or lights and then extinguishes shortly afterwards
• The burner flame is weak, uneven, yellow or lifts away from the burner surface
• Soot deposits or black staining appear around the pilot assembly or burner
• Flue gas analyser readings fall outside the expected combustion figures for the appliance
• The boiler locks out repeatedly after ignition attempts

• Check the GC number on the appliance data badge against the compatibility list below before ordering.
• Confirm the appliance model and serial number, as several Ideal ranges use this injector and housing kit.
• Cross-check the existing part number against the alternative numbers listed.
• This part is fitted to a gas appliance; installation must be carried out by a Gas Safe registered engineer.
