Ideal Gas Valve Pre-Set W45 W60 172966

The Ideal 172966 is a pre-set gas valve manufactured for Ideal commercial appliances. It regulates the flow of gas into the combustion circuit, opening and closing on demand from the appliance controls so the burner receives the correct supply during each firing cycle. It is listed by Ideal under the Ideal Spares brand and is intended for the Imax W45 and W60 commercial range.

• The appliance fails to fire or drops into lockout after a call for heat
• No gas reaches the burner despite the controls signalling demand
• The flame is unstable, weak or extinguishes shortly after ignition
• Combustion readings drift or the appliance soots up because the gas rate is wrong
• The valve body leaks, sticks or fails to seat when the appliance shuts down

• Check the GC number and model on the appliance data badge against the compatibility list before ordering
• Confirm the appliance is an Ideal Commercial Imax W45 or W60, as the valve is pre-set for these models
• Check whether the jointing gasket or seal at the valve connection needs renewing at the same time
• This part is fitted to a gas appliance; installation must be carried out by a Gas Safe registered engineer.
