Ideal Elbow 1 1/2 Inch 172224

The Ideal 172224 is a 1 1/2 inch elbow supplied by Ideal for its Commercial Concord appliance range. It is a directional pipe fitting that turns the flow path through 90 degrees where the appliance's internal pipework changes direction, forming part of the water or heating circuit assembly. The fitting is matched to the Concord ES380/H and ESi 380 commercial models, where correct bore and thread form matter for a sound, leak-free joint.

• Visible weeping or a steady drip at the elbow joint under normal running conditions
• Water staining, scale trails or corrosion product around the thread or the bend
• Discolouration or surface pitting on the fitting where it has been exposed to prolonged moisture
• A joint that will not seal after re-making, indicating a distorted thread or a cracked body
• Localised dampness on the appliance casing or floor beneath the pipe run

• Confirm the appliance model and, where available, the serial number against the compatibility list before ordering
• Check the existing fitting to confirm the 1 1/2 inch size and the thread form match the part being replaced
• Note the alternative number 1178607 when cross-referencing against older documentation or stock records
• Have a suitable sealing method to hand so the joint can be completed and pressure-tested on the same visit
