Ideal Gasket Grommet Bush Kit 171887

This is a gasket, grommet and bush kit manufactured by Ideal for its British and Scottish Gas RD1 appliance range. The kit groups the sealing components used where pipework and fittings pass through the casing and where mating surfaces are clamped together, so a single part number covers the seals needed at those points. Grommets and bushes locate and cushion the pipe entry, while the gasket forms the compression seal between the joined faces.

• Water weeping or staining around a pipe entry point on the casing
• Visible perishing, hardening or cracking of the rubber grommet or bush
• A gasket that has flattened, split or stuck to the mating face after being disturbed
• Damp patches or corrosion tracking from a joint that will not seal on reassembly
• Slight seepage that returns shortly after a service or component change

• Check the appliance GC number and serial plate against the compatibility list before ordering, as the same model name can cover several build variants.
• Confirm the alternative number 1178292 matches the part currently fitted if you are working from an older reference.
• Inspect the pipe entries and joint faces at the same time, as a worn bush or distorted grommet will not seal even with a new gasket.
• This part is fitted to a gas appliance; installation must be carried out by a Gas Safe registered engineer.
