What it is
The Ideal 172946 is a 90 degree elbow used in the pipework of Ideal commercial heating appliances. It turns the flow through a right angle where the pipe run changes direction, forming part of the internal water or fluid circuit on the Buccaneer GTE and GTE4 families. As a moulded fitting it is a direct replacement for the original elbow on these units.
