What it is

The Ideal 172079 is an upper rear crossbar, supplied as part of the casing assembly for Ideal Commercial Concord boilers. It sits across the upper rear of the appliance shell, bracing the casing and holding the rear panels square and correctly aligned. Because it is a structural casing component rather than a gas-carrying part, it is replaced when the rear of the casing becomes corroded, distorted or damaged.

The crossbar is listed under part type casing assembly and carries the previous number 8358-8055, with 1178464 used as an alternative reference.

Signs this part needs replacing

  • Rust or corrosion along the length of the crossbar, particularly where it meets the rear panels
  • Cracks, splits or bending in the metal section
  • Rear casing panels sitting proud, dropping out of line or failing to seat against the frame
  • Rattling or movement from the rear of the casing when the boiler is running
  • Fixing holes that have elongated, torn or lost their grip on the panel fixings

Before you order

  • Confirm the boiler model and serial number against the compatibility list before ordering
  • Check the crossbar currently fitted for the previous number 8358-8055, as this identifies the same item
  • Inspect the casing fixings and panel seals at the same time, since these are commonly disturbed when the rear casing is stripped down
