Ideal Body Insulation 6 Section 172886

The Ideal body insulation is a six-section thermal insulation component that wraps the boiler body on Ideal Commercial Buccaneer appliances. It is supplied under part number 172886, previously listed as 85755512. Its job is to hold heat inside the boiler body rather than letting it escape into the casing and the room, which keeps surface temperatures down and supports steady operating efficiency.

• Visible cracking, crumbling or breakdown of the insulation sections on the boiler body
• Sections that have come loose, dropped away or no longer sit flush against the body
• Casing or outer panels running noticeably hotter than normal in service
• Heat loss around the boiler body with no other obvious cause
• Insulation that has been soaked, contaminated or damaged during earlier work on the appliance

• Confirm the appliance model and serial number against the compatibility list before ordering, as the Buccaneer range uses several body configurations
• Check the number on the existing insulation or the appliance documentation; earlier builds may carry 85755512 rather than 172886
• Inspect any seals, gaskets or fixings disturbed during removal and replace them if they are perished or damaged
• Work on the boiler body should be carried out by a competent engineer, with the appliance isolated and cooled before the insulation is removed
