What it is
This is an Ideal sealing rope supplied in a 12mm x 22mm section. It is a rope-form joint seal used on Ideal Commercial boiler assemblies, where it sits in a groove or between mating faces to close the joint against leakage. The rope is compressed as the joint is drawn down, filling the gap and holding the seal across the full length of the face.
Signs this part needs replacing
- Visible fraying, flattening or crumbling of the rope where the joint has been opened
- Water weeping or staining along a joint face that the rope seals
- Soot tracking or dark streaks at a casing or access joint
- Combustion readings that drift after the joint has been disturbed
- The rope dropping out of its groove or failing to sit proud enough to compress
Before you order
- Check the appliance model and serial number against the compatibility list to confirm this rope is the correct item for your boiler
- Confirm the groove or joint takes a 12mm x 22mm section before fitting
- Note the alternative number 1178245, which may appear on older documentation for the same item
