Ideal Venturi Imax Xtra F160-F320 174382

The Ideal 174382 is a venturi used on Ideal Commercial Imax Xtra appliances. Manufactured by Caradon for Ideal, it sits in the combustion air path and draws gas into the air stream to form the correct combustible mixture for the burner. It is listed for the Imax Xtra F160 to F320 models and also appears against the wider Imax Xtra E-series appliances.

• Unstable or lifting flame at the burner
• Combustion readings outside the expected range for the appliance, including drifting CO or CO2 figures
• Sooting or discolouration around the burner or heat exchanger
• Repeated ignition lockouts or flame failure
• Visible damage, debris or obstruction in the venturi throat

• Confirm the appliance model and serial number against the compatibility list before ordering.
• Check the existing component against the alternative number 1780698, as both numbers identify this venturi.
• Inspect the surrounding seals and gaskets while the venturi is removed and replace any that are perished.
• Combustion-related work should be carried out by a competent engineer, with the appliance re-commissioned and flue gas analysis carried out afterwards.
