Ideal Burner Hood Seal Imax Xtra 174412

The Ideal burner hood seal is a replacement sealing component for the burner hood on Ideal commercial gas appliances. The burner hood sits over the burner assembly, where gas is fed through the gas valve and ignited to provide the primary heat source for the appliance. The seal maintains a tight joint at the hood face, keeping combustion contained at the burner and preventing leakage past the hood seating.

This is an Ideal spare, listed under gaskets, seals and washers, and is supplied against part number 174412.

• Visible cracking, hardening or perishing of the seal material around the burner hood face
• Sooting or localised heat marking at the hood joint, suggesting combustion gases are escaping past the seal
• A smell of gas or combustion products in the appliance casing during or after firing
• Unstable or altered flame pattern at the burner after the hood has been disturbed
• The seal breaks up or crumbles when the burner hood is removed for servicing

• Confirm the appliance model and serial number against the compatibility list, as this seal is listed for Imax Xtra commercial units
• Note the alternative part number 1780262 when cross-referencing older documentation or stock records
• Check whether any other gaskets or seals at the burner assembly need replacing at the same time, so the appliance can be reassembled in one visit
• This part is fitted to a gas appliance; installation must be carried out by a Gas Safe registered engineer.
