Ideal Check Valve Imax Xtra 174369

The Ideal 174369 is a check valve supplied for appliances in the Ideal Commercial Imax Xtra range. It sits in the water circuit and allows flow in one direction only, closing against reverse flow so that water cannot travel back through the appliance. The valve is listed under the isolation valve group of Ideal spares and is used on Imax Xtra commercial units.

• Water passing back through the circuit when it should be held on one side of the valve
• Flow through the appliance reduced or stopped altogether with no other obvious cause
• The valve body weeping or dripping at the connection points
• The internal seat or disc stuck open, so the valve no longer closes against reverse flow
• Intermittent circulation faults that clear and return as the valve sticks and releases

• Confirm the appliance model and serial number against the compatibility list, as the same valve body is used across several Imax Xtra outputs
• Note the alternative part number 1780082 when cross-referencing older documentation or stock records
• Check the condition of the seals and connections at the valve before fitting, and replace any that are compressed or perished
• Work on the water circuit should be carried out by a competent engineer with the appliance isolated and drained as required
