Ideal Return Pipe with Gaskets 172048

The Ideal 172048 is a return pipe supplied together with its gaskets, forming part of the water circuit on Ideal Commercial Concord condensing boilers. It carries returning heating water back into the appliance, so it sits in the primary circuit where flow rates and temperatures are constant. The pipe is listed under Ideal's hoses and pipes group and is matched to the Concord ES range.

• Water weeping or tracking along the pipe at the joint faces
• Staining, scale or corrosion around the pipe connection points
• Gasket faces that have hardened, flattened or split
• Falling system pressure that cannot be traced to any other part of the circuit
• Visible distortion, cracking or pitting on the pipe itself

• Check the model and GC number on the appliance data badge against the compatibility list before ordering
• Confirm the part number on the existing component matches 172048, or one of the alternative numbers listed
• Gaskets are supplied with the pipe, so check the joint faces are clean and undamaged before fitting
• If the appliance is due a service, inspect the surrounding pipework and seals at the same time
