What it is

The Ideal brass safety valve, part 172494, is a pressure relief valve used on Ideal Europa and Mini units. It controls pressure inside a closed system by opening proportionally once the set point is reached, discharging excess pressure before it can cause damage elsewhere in the appliance. The valve body is brass.

Signs this part needs replacing

  • Water discharging from the relief outlet when the system is well below its set pressure
  • The valve weeping or dripping continuously after the system has cooled
  • System pressure climbing steadily and failing to settle at the cold-fill figure
  • The valve not reseating after it has opened, leaving a permanent drip
  • Scale, staining or corrosion visible around the valve seat or outlet

Before you order

  • Check the GC number on the appliance data badge against the compatibility list below.
  • Confirm the exact appliance model, as the valve is listed against Europa and Mini units.
  • Have a suitable sealing washer to hand in case the existing one is disturbed during removal.
