What it is

The Ideal 172280 is a reducing bush used in the pipework and connection assemblies of Ideal Commercial boilers. It steps one connection size down to another so that pipework of differing diameters can be joined securely within the appliance. It is listed under the manufacturer's adaptors and connectors range and is supplied for the Ideal Commercial Concord ES series.

Signs this part needs replacing

  • Visible weeping or a damp trace around the threaded joint after the boiler has run
  • Corrosion, scaling or pitting on the bush where it meets the adjoining fitting
  • A joint that will not seal after re-making, suggesting damaged or crossed threads
  • Pipework that sits loose or misaligned where the reduction is made
  • Discolouration or heat marking on the bush during service inspection

Before you order

  • Confirm the appliance model and serial number against the compatibility list, as the Concord ES range uses several connection arrangements
  • Check the existing bush against the previous number 9494-8055 to be sure the correct item is being replaced
  • Inspect the mating threads and decide whether a new seal, washer or jointing compound is needed to complete the repair
