What it is

The Ideal 172878 is a drain valve for Ideal Commercial Buccaneer appliances. It provides a controlled drain point on the appliance so the water circuit can be emptied during servicing, repair or decommissioning. The valve is opened to release water at the drain point and closed again to reseal the circuit.

Signs this part needs replacing

  • Water weeping or dripping from the drain point with the valve closed
  • Corrosion, scale build-up or cracking visible around the valve body
  • The valve fails to seal again after the system has been drained
  • Water tracking down the appliance casing or pooling beneath the drain outlet
  • Stiff or seized operation when opening or closing the valve

Before you order

  • Confirm the appliance model and serial number against the compatibility list before ordering.
  • Check the number on the existing valve; 94902077 is the previous number for this item.
  • Inspect the drain point washer or seal while the system is drained and renew it if worn.
  • This is a non-gas component, but the water circuit must still be isolated and drained before removal.
