Ideal 175552 Return Group Kit

The Ideal 175552 Return Group Kit is a factory spare for Ideal heating appliances, listed by the manufacturer under the diverter and motorised valve category. It forms part of the return group within the appliance, where it manages the flow of water returning through the hydraulic circuit so the unit can switch between heating and hot water duties as demanded.

As a service component it is intended to be fitted when the original assembly is worn, seized or no longer sealing correctly, restoring the appliance to its designed operating behaviour.

• Domestic hot water runs cold or only lukewarm while the heating circuit is calling for heat
• Radiators warm up when only hot water has been requested
• The appliance fails to switch cleanly between heating and hot water modes
• Water leaks or weeping around the return group body or its connections
• The valve motor runs but the diverter does not move, or the assembly feels stiff and does not return freely

• Confirm the part number IDEAL175552 against the appliance data badge and the manufacturer's parts listing for your model
• Note the appliance serial number and, where shown, the GC number so the correct variant can be identified
• Check whether a gasket, O-ring or seal kit is required at the same time, as the joint faces are disturbed during replacement
