What it is

The Ideal air pressure switch, part 174418, is a safety device fitted to Ideal Commercial Imax Xtra boilers. It senses the pressure generated by the combustion fan and confirms the fan is running before the boiler is allowed to fire and continue running. If the fan stops or air flow through the appliance is restricted, the switch interrupts the sequence so that flue products cannot accumulate without a safe path out of the boiler.

Signs this part needs replacing

  • The boiler locks out on start-up, or shortly after the fan begins to run
  • The fan can be heard running but the boiler will not fire
  • Repeated lockouts that clear on reset and then return
  • Fault codes relating to fan operation or air pressure
  • Intermittent running that worsens when the flue or air intake is restricted

Before you order

  • Confirm your appliance model and serial number against the compatibility list before ordering
  • Cross-reference the alternative part number 1780374 when checking against an existing switch
  • Inspect the fan, flue and air intake for blockage or damage first, as restricted air flow can produce the same symptoms as a failed switch
