Ideal Brush 172883

The Ideal 172883 is a service aid brush supplied for use on Ideal Commercial appliances. It is a maintenance accessory rather than a functional component, intended to help an engineer clean internal surfaces and passages during a service visit. It belongs to the Ideal Commercial Boiler Spares range and is listed against the Buccaneer GTE and GTE4 families.

• Bristles are splayed, flattened or missing, so cleaning no longer removes deposits effectively
• The brush head is packed with soot, scale or debris that cannot be cleared out
• The handle or stem is cracked, bent or loose at the joint with the head
• Cleaning passes leave residue behind, indicating the brush has lost its shape or stiffness
• The brush has been used across multiple services and no longer holds its original profile

• Confirm the appliance model and, where shown on the data badge, the GC number against the compatibility list below
• Check the part number on the existing item or in the appliance literature before ordering
• Cross-reference the alternative numbers 96960223 and 1179128, which may appear on older paperwork or labels
