What it is

The Ideal body insulation is a six-section insulating jacket that wraps the boiler body of Ideal Commercial Harrier appliances. It is supplied by Ideal as a direct replacement for the original insulation fitted at manufacture, and carries part number 173392. Its role is to hold heat inside the body sections rather than letting it radiate into the casing and the surrounding plant room, which keeps surface temperatures down and reduces standing losses between firing cycles.

Signs this part needs replacing

  • Insulation sections are crumbling, friable or breaking up when touched
  • Sections have sagged, slipped or pulled away from the body, leaving bare metal exposed
  • Visible scorching, discolouration or heat damage to the insulation surface
  • Casing or adjacent components running noticeably hotter than normal
  • Condensation or damp patches forming on the insulation or the body beneath it

Before you order

  • Confirm the appliance model and serial number against the compatibility list, as Harrier GTE and GTE5 variants use different body arrangements
  • Check the existing insulation for the previous number 85535509 to confirm you are ordering the correct pattern
  • Inspect the body sections and any gaskets or seals disturbed during removal, and replace them if they are perished
