What it is

The Ideal 172931 is a cover anode and seal assembly used on Ideal Commercial Buccaneer appliances. The anode is a sacrificial component that sits in the water circuit and corrodes in preference to the surrounding metalwork, while the cover and seal close off the anode pocket and keep the joint watertight. It is listed by Ideal under the Ideal Commercial Boiler Spares range.

Signs this part needs replacing

  • Visible corrosion, pitting or heavy material loss on the anode body
  • Water weeping or staining around the anode cover joint
  • The seal has hardened, flattened or cracked and no longer seals cleanly
  • Scale or debris build-up around the anode pocket
  • Repeated dampness at the cover after the joint has been remade

Before you order

  • Confirm the appliance model and serial number against the compatibility list before ordering
  • Check the part number on the existing component or in the appliance documentation
  • Note that 89555504 is listed as a previous number for this part, so older references may appear on the appliance
