Ideal Manifold Flow 174435

The Ideal 174435 is a flow manifold used on Ideal Commercial appliances. It distributes heating water from the primary circuit into the individual flow branches of the appliance, so each circuit receives an even share of flow at the correct rate. It is a direct replacement component for the Ideal Commercial Imax Xtra range.

• Uneven heating across zones or circuits fed from the manifold, with some branches running noticeably cooler than others
• Water weeping or visible staining around the manifold body or its connection points
• Scale, sludge or debris restricting flow through one or more manifold ports
• Noise or vibration from the manifold area when the appliance is running
• Corrosion or pitting on the manifold body after long service

• Confirm the appliance model and serial number against the compatibility list before ordering
• Check the part number on the existing manifold and compare it with 174435 or the alternative number 1780708
• Inspect the manifold connections and any seals or gaskets at the same time, as these are often disturbed during replacement
• Work on the appliance should be carried out by a competent engineer, with the appliance isolated and drained as required
