What it is
The Ideal 171173 is a sweeping cover with braid, listed by the manufacturer as a casing assembly component. It sits on the appliance casing and closes off the sweeping access point, with a braided section forming part of the assembly. It is used across the Ideal Commercial range, principally the Viscount GTE family.
Signs this part needs replacing
- The cover no longer seats correctly on the casing and will not sit flush
- Visible distortion, cracking or corrosion of the cover body
- The braid is frayed, flattened or has come away from the assembly
- Combustion readings or draught checks that point to an incomplete casing seal
- The cover works loose or rattles in service
Before you order
- Check the appliance model and serial number against the compatibility list before ordering
- Confirm the number on the existing component matches 171173 or 85555512
- Inspect the surrounding casing and any sealing faces at the same time, as these are disturbed during replacement
- Work on the appliance casing should be carried out by a competent engineer
