What it is
The Ideal 173628 is a diverter valve head kit for Ideal domestic gas boilers. It consists of the motorised head that mounts on top of the diverter valve body, supplied here as a Honeywell VC6012 grey head. The head drives the valve spindle so the boiler can switch the flow between central heating and domestic hot water as demand changes. It is listed under Ideal's diverter valve and hydraulic components group.
Signs this part needs replacing
- No hot water while the heating continues to run normally
- Radiators heating up when only hot water is drawn
- The valve head buzzing, clicking repeatedly or failing to move through its full travel
- Boiler locking out or displaying a fault code linked to the diverter valve
- Water leaking from around the head or the valve spindle beneath it
Before you order
- Confirm your boiler model and GC number against the compatibility list before ordering
- Check that the existing head is a Honeywell VC6012 grey head, as the mounting and wiring differ between head types
- Inspect the valve body and spindle while the head is off; a worn body or damaged seals will not be cured by a new head alone
