What it is

The Ideal 171271 is a 400 long upper rear plate, supplied as part of the casing assembly for Ideal Commercial appliances. It forms the upper rear section of the outer casing, closing the back of the appliance above the heat exchanger and flue area. The plate is listed against the Viscount GTE family and other Ideal Commercial models, and carries the alternative number 85558505.

Signs this part needs replacing

  • Corrosion, rust staining or flaking paint across the rear panel
  • Distortion or buckling of the plate after prolonged heat exposure
  • Cracked or enlarged fixing holes, so the plate no longer sits square
  • Panel fouling the flue or internal components when refitted
  • Impact or handling damage to the edges and mounting points

Before you order

  • Confirm the appliance model and serial number against the compatibility list before ordering.
  • Check the existing plate for the number 85558505 to confirm the match.
