What it is

The Ideal 173389 is a base frame for an eight-section commercial boiler casing, listed by Ideal as the Fd34 variant. It forms the structural foundation of the appliance, carrying the weight of the heat exchanger sections and casing panels and holding the assembly square and level on the floor or plinth. It belongs to the Ideal Commercial Harrier GTE and GTE5 range of floor-standing commercial boilers.

Signs this part needs replacing

  • Visible corrosion, scaling or thinning of the frame where it meets the floor or plinth
  • Cracks or fractures around the section mounting points or fixing holes
  • Distortion that leaves the boiler casing sitting out of level or rocking under load
  • Water staining or rust runs on the frame indicating a long-standing leak above it
  • Casing panels that no longer line up or fasten correctly because the frame has moved

Before you order

  • Confirm your appliance model against the compatibility list, as this frame is specific to the eight-section Fd34 build
  • Check any existing part number on the old frame against 173389, 1179424 and 85537064 before ordering
  • Inspect the section seals and gaskets while the appliance is stripped down, as these are commonly disturbed during a base frame replacement
