Ideal Control Box Housing Kit Isar/Icos System 171826

The control box housing kit is an Ideal-manufactured assembly that carries and encloses the user control panel on Isar and Icos system boilers. It provides the mounting and enclosure for the controls that the householder uses to set heating and hot water demand. The kit is supplied under part number 171826 and is listed against the Isar and Icos system appliance families.

• The control panel or its housing is cracked, distorted or no longer sits flush on the boiler casing.
• User controls feel loose, or the fascia moves when buttons or dials are operated.
• Moisture or staining is visible around the control area, suggesting the enclosure is no longer sealing correctly.
• Buttons or dials fail to register because the housing no longer holds the panel in its correct position.
• The panel has been disturbed during servicing and the original housing fixings or mountings are damaged.

• Confirm the boiler model and GC number against the compatibility list, as the housing is shared across Isar and Icos system variants.
• Check the existing part number on the boiler against 171826 and the alternative number 1178251 before ordering.
• Inspect the surrounding seals and fixings while the control area is open, and replace any that are perished or missing.
