What it is
The Ideal 173382 is a return flange with tube, an 8-section component used on Ideal Commercial Harrier GTE and GTE5 appliances. It forms the return-side connection between the boiler's heat exchanger section and the system pipework, guiding returning water back into the appliance. The flange and its attached tube are supplied as a single assembly, so the joint face and the tube run are matched to the section spacing on these commercial boilers.
Signs this part needs replacing
- Water weeping or a visible drip at the return flange joint, particularly once the appliance is up to temperature
- Staining, scale tracking or corrosion around the flange face and the adjacent section
- A damaged or distorted tube where it meets the flange, often after work on the surrounding pipework
- Repeated loss of system pressure that traces back to the return connection rather than the pipework
- Difficulty achieving a clean seal on reassembly because the flange face is pitted or deformed
Before you order
- Confirm the appliance model and, where available, the serial number against the compatibility list before ordering
- Check the existing part number on the appliance against 173382 and the alternative codes listed below
- Inspect the mating gasket or seal at the same time and replace it if it is compressed, hardened or damaged
