What it is
The Ideal temperature gauge (part 174868) is a dial-type gauge used to monitor water temperature inside Ideal solar and commercial heating appliances. It gives a direct visual reading at the appliance, so an engineer or user can confirm the system is running within its intended temperature band. The gauge is a direct replacement for the component originally fitted across the Ideal solar range.
Signs this part needs replacing
- Needle sits at zero or at a fixed point no matter what the system temperature is
- Readings jump or swing erratically during normal running
- Dial face is fogged, discoloured or otherwise unreadable
- Weeping or a visible leak at the gauge stem or its connection
- Gauge reading no longer agrees with a known-good thermometer on the same circuit
Before you order
- Check your appliance model against the compatibility list before ordering.
- Compare the number on the existing gauge; 1780266 may appear on older stock or listings.
- Note the connection size and thread on the fitted gauge so the replacement matches.
