Ideal Turbulator Extractor 980mm 175518

The Ideal 175518 is a turbulator extractor with a 980mm reach, intended for use on Ideal Commercial appliances. Turbulators sit inside the flue passages of a commercial heat exchanger, breaking up the flow of combustion gases so more heat is transferred into the water circuit. The extractor is the tool used to draw those turbulators out of the tubes during servicing, inspection or replacement, and to refit them afterwards. The part is listed under the Caradon range and carries the Caradon code 175518.

• Turbulators seized or corroded inside the flue tubes and cannot be drawn out by hand
• Heavy soot or debris build-up in the heat exchanger passages, making extraction difficult
• Combustion readings drifting outside the range expected for the appliance
• Flue gas temperatures running higher than normal for the model
• The extractor itself bent, worn or damaged at the pulling end, so it no longer grips or reaches the turbulator

• Confirm the appliance model and serial number against the compatibility list below
• Check the part number on the appliance or in the service manual matches 175518
• Check whether new gaskets or seals are needed when the turbulators are refitted
