Ideal Gasket Kit Mex HE 30 36 174167

The Ideal 174167 is a gasket kit supplied for the Mexico HE range of commercial boilers. It provides the sealing components used at the mating faces of the boiler assembly, where a gas-tight and water-tight joint is needed between castings, covers and flue connections. The kit is listed by Ideal under the Caradon manufacturing heritage and is held as an Ideal Domestic Boiler Spares item.

• Weeping or a visible trace of water at a joint on the boiler assembly
• Rust staining, scale or corrosion tracking around a gasket face
• A gasket that has hardened, flattened or cracked once the joint is opened
• Repeated pressure loss that cannot be traced to another component
• Combustion readings drifting away from the commissioned figures, pointing to a leaking sealed joint

• Check the GC number on the appliance data badge against the compatibility list to confirm the model
• Confirm the boiler is the Mexico HE 30 or HE 36 variant, as the kit is listed for those appliances
• A gasket kit covers more than one joint, so establish which seals are actually required before fitting
• Isolate and depressurise the appliance before any joint is broken
