Ideal Fan Gasket Imax Xtra F160-560 174413

This is a fan gasket manufactured by Ideal for its commercial Imax Xtra F range of boilers. It is a sealing component that sits between mating faces to close the joint and stop gas or water escaping under pressure. Gaskets of this type are used at several points on a boiler, including heat exchanger and gas valve connections, wherever two parts or a part and pipework are bolted together.

• A smell of gas or a detected leak around the fan or burner mounting area
• Water weeping or staining at a joint face on the boiler
• The gasket is visibly hardened, flattened, cracked or breaking up when the joint is opened
• Soot marks or heat discolouration tracking past the sealing face
• The gasket tears or delaminates when the fan or adjacent component is removed for service

• Confirm the boiler model and, where available, the GC number against the compatibility list before ordering
• Check the existing gasket against the alternative number 1780166 to be sure of the correct item
• Inspect any other seals disturbed during the same repair, as gaskets are often replaced as a set
