What it is

The Ideal Return Elbow 174858 is a pipe fitting used on Ideal solar and commercial heating appliances. It forms the return-side connection within the appliance's hydraulic circuit, turning the pipe run and guiding water back through the system. As a moulded elbow rather than a straight coupling, it sets both the direction and the sealing face of the joint it serves.

Signs this part needs replacing

  • Visible weeping or a damp trace around the elbow joint, with crusting or limescale staining at the connection
  • Corrosion or pitting on the elbow body, particularly where it meets the pipework
  • A joint that will not seal after re-making, suggesting a distorted or cracked fitting
  • Reduced flow or air being drawn into the circuit through a failed joint
  • Hairline cracks or deformation visible once the elbow is removed

Before you order

  • Confirm the appliance model and, where available, the serial number against the compatibility list before ordering
  • Check the alternative number 1780120 against any markings on the old elbow to be sure of the match
  • Inspect the mating faces and pipework while the joint is open, and replace any sealing washer or gasket that is disturbed during removal
