What it is

The Ideal 172279 is a reducing nipple with 1/4 inch and 1/8 inch threaded ends, used to join two ports of different sizes within an Ideal commercial boiler assembly. It is a small but load-bearing connection component, and the threads must seal correctly to keep the water circuit sound. The part is listed against the Ideal Concord ES range of commercial appliances.

Signs this part needs replacing

  • Weeping or a visible film of water at the threaded joint
  • Corrosion, rust staining or scale around the nipple
  • A fitting that will not tighten down or has picked up on the threads
  • System pressure loss traced back to the connection
  • Mineral deposits or dried residue on adjacent components

Before you order

  • Confirm the appliance model and serial number against the compatibility list before ordering.
  • Compare the number on the nipple being removed; 9494-8065 is the previous number for this item.
  • Inspect the mating threads and any sealing washer or jointing material so the replacement seals on first fit.
