What it is
The Ideal 172040 is a complete 16-section boiler body, the cast iron heat exchanger assembly at the core of the appliance. It is manufactured by Ideal for the Ideal Commercial Concord ES range of commercial boilers. The body transfers heat from the combustion gases to the system water, and the section count determines the output band of the boiler it serves.
Signs this part needs replacing
- Water weeping from the section joints or around the body, often showing as rust staining on the casing or floor beneath the boiler.
- Persistent system pressure loss that cannot be traced to the pipework, radiator circuit or pressure relief valve.
- Kettling, banging or rumbling noises from the heat exchanger during firing.
- Overheating or repeated high-limit trips where circulation and controls have already been ruled out.
- Visible corrosion, pitting or heavy scale build-up on the sections or waterways.
Before you order
- Confirm the boiler model and serial number against the compatibility list, as the 16-section body suits specific Concord ES outputs.
- Check the existing body for the previous number 8358-5506 or alternative number 1178426 before ordering.
- Allow for new section gaskets, seals and fittings as part of the rebuild, and confirm what is required for the specific appliance.
- This is a heavy cast iron assembly; plan for suitable lifting equipment and access on site.
