What it is

The Ideal 172881 is a left-hand baffle supplied for Ideal Commercial Buccaneer appliances. A baffle sits in the flue gas path of the heat exchanger, slowing and redirecting the hot gases so more heat is transferred to the water circuit and combustion stays stable. This is the left-hand item of the pair used in the Buccaneer GT and GT3 families.

Signs this part needs replacing

  • The appliance runs hotter than normal or trips on the overheat thermostat
  • Soot or dark deposits appear around the flue outlet or in the combustion chamber
  • Rattling or metallic noise from the flue or heat exchanger area
  • The baffle is visibly distorted, corroded or breaking up when inspected
  • Flue gas temperatures read higher than expected at service

Before you order

  • Check your appliance model against the compatibility list, which covers 37 Ideal Commercial Buccaneer variants.
  • Compare the number on the existing baffle with 172881, 1179126 and 81990015.
  • This listing is for the left-hand baffle, so confirm which side is required before ordering.
  • Work on commercial appliances should be carried out by a competent engineer.
