What it is
The Ideal 171178 is a boiler body insulation section manufactured by Ideal for its commercial appliance range. It is a 14-section insulation moulding that sits against the boiler body, reducing heat loss from the heat exchanger and shell and helping to keep casing temperatures within normal limits. It forms part of the Ideal Commercial Viscount GTE and Nuway family of appliances.
Signs this part needs replacing
- Insulation cracked, crumbling or breaking away from the boiler body
- Insulation panel detached or displaced after previous service work
- Discolouration or heat staining across the insulation surface
- Casing or adjacent surfaces running noticeably hotter than usual
- Falling efficiency with no other obvious cause identified during service
Before you order
- Check the appliance model and serial number against the compatibility list before ordering.
- The number 85555520 appears on older Ideal documentation for this insulation; both numbers refer to the same item.
