What it is
The Ideal 173203 is a pressure relief valve for the central heating circuit of Ideal gas boilers and cylinders. It is manufactured by Ideal and belongs to the Excel HE and iStore HE appliance families. The valve opens and discharges water when sealed system pressure rises above its set limit, protecting the boiler, cylinder and connected pipework from over-pressurisation.
Signs this part needs replacing
- Water discharging continuously from the pressure relief discharge pipe
- System pressure gauge sitting high with no obvious cause
- Boiler or cylinder losing pressure repeatedly after topping up
- Dripping or weeping from the valve outlet when the system is cold
- Scale or system debris holding the valve seat open
Before you order
- Match the GC number on the appliance data badge against the compatibility list before ordering
- Check the model name and GC number together, as the Excel HE and iStore HE ranges use different GC prefixes
