What it is
The Ideal 176306 is a condensate blockage pressure switch used in Ideal Commercial appliances. It monitors the condensate path and signals the boiler control when the trap or discharge route is restricted, allowing the appliance to shut down safely rather than run with condensate backing up. It sits within Ideal's condensate traps and siphons spare part group.
Signs this part needs replacing
- The boiler locks out or fails to fire with a condensate-related fault code.
- Condensate backs up in the trap or the discharge pipework.
- Intermittent shutdowns that clear briefly after the trap is emptied.
- No switching signal from the pressure switch when the condensate route is clear.
- Repeated lockouts in cold weather, when the condensate discharge route is prone to freezing.
Before you order
- Confirm the appliance model and GC number against the compatibility list below.
- Check the switch fitted to the appliance is marked 176306 before removal.
- Inspect the condensate trap, seals and discharge pipework at the same time; a blocked trap can affect a replacement switch.
