Ideal Casing Assembly Long Central Upper Plate 171230

The Ideal 171230 is a casing assembly supplied as a 1271 long central upper plate. It forms part of the outer casing on Ideal Commercial appliances, closing off the upper central section of the boiler shell and helping to keep the combustion area and internal components correctly enclosed.

This is a manufacturer-supplied Ideal component, listed under part type casing assembly and carrying the previous reference 85558067.

• Visible corrosion, rust staining or pitting across the plate surface
• Cracks, splits or distortion in the panel, often found during a service or casing-off inspection
• The plate no longer sits flat or lines up with the surrounding casing panels
• Fixing points or edges have deteriorated so the panel cannot be secured properly
• Water tracking or heat damage marks around the upper central section of the casing

• Confirm your appliance model against the compatibility list, as this plate is used across a number of Viscount GTE and GTE14 variants
• Check the existing part number on the appliance — earlier units may carry the previous reference 85558067
• Inspect any gaskets, seals or fixings removed during the strip-down and replace them if they are perished or missing
• Work on the casing of a gas appliance should be carried out by a competent person, with the appliance isolated and made safe before panels are removed
