Ideal Screws Boiler Body 172882

The Ideal 172882 is a set of screws for the boiler body, supplied by Ideal for use on their commercial Buccaneer appliances. They are the fasteners that hold the boiler body sections and panels together, so they are removed and refitted whenever the body is stripped down for inspection, cleaning or repair. Because they sit in a hot, wet environment, they are a service item that is replaced when threads strip, heads round off or corrosion takes hold.

• Screws seized in the body casting and difficult to remove without damage
• Corrosion or pitting on the shank or head after a period in service
• Stripped threads in the body casting or on the screw itself
• Rounded or chewed heads that will not take the correct torque
• Body fixings working loose, allowing movement between sections

• Confirm the appliance model and serial number against the compatibility list before ordering
• Compare the thread, length and head type of the existing screw with the replacement
• Quote the alternative part number 1179127 when cross-referencing older Ideal documentation
• If the body joint is being opened, check whether a gasket or seal is also needed for reassembly
