Ideal Gas Valve Pre-set 172967

The Ideal 172967 is a pre-set gas valve manufactured for Ideal Commercial appliances. It controls the flow of gas into the burner assembly, holding the outlet pressure at a fixed setting so combustion stays within the appliance's design parameters. It is fitted across the Imax W45 and W60 range, including the propane variants.
