What it is

The Ideal 171232 is a long central upper plate, listed under reference 1471, and is supplied as part of the casing assembly on Ideal Commercial appliances. It sits in the upper central section of the boiler casing, forming part of the outer shell that encloses the heat exchanger and combustion area. The plate is matched to the Viscount GTE range, where the casing panels are shaped to the specific chassis of each model.

Signs this part needs replacing

  • Visible corrosion, rust staining or perforation along the plate surface
  • Distortion or warping that prevents the casing panels sitting flush
  • Cracks, splits or impact damage to the plate edges
  • Fixing holes elongated or torn, so the plate no longer secures correctly
  • Casing panels that no longer align or seal around the upper central section

Before you order

  • Confirm the appliance model and serial number against the compatibility list, as casing panels differ across the Viscount GTE variants
  • Check the existing plate carries the 1471 reference before ordering
  • Inspect any gaskets, seals or fixings removed during the job and replace them if they are perished or damaged
