Ideal Sealing Rope 28mm x 32mm 1 Metre 173284

The Ideal 173284 is a sealing rope supplied in a 1 metre length with a 28mm x 32mm section. It is produced for Ideal and carries a Caradon manufacture reference. The rope sits in the channel around access doors and mating faces on Ideal Commercial appliances, forming a heat-resistant barrier that keeps flue products and heat inside the combustion path rather than escaping at the joint.

• The rope is frayed, flattened or hardened and no longer springs back when pressed
• Soot blackening or staining is visible around a door edge or joint face
• Combustion readings drift or will not hold steady after a service
• Heat or flue products are escaping at a joint that should be sealed
• The rope falls out of its channel when the door is opened

• Confirm the appliance model and, where shown, the GC number against the compatibility list below.
• Measure the old rope section and length before ordering; this item is 28mm x 32mm and 1 metre long.
• Check whether the door gasket, retaining clips or fixings also need replacing at the same time.
• Quote part number 173284 or alternative number 1179380 when ordering.
