What it is

The Ideal 176462 is a return pipe used within the internal pipework of Ideal gas boilers. It forms part of the water or gas routing inside the casing, carrying flow back through the appliance so the hydraulic circuit works as designed. The part is listed under Ideal's pipes and hoses range and is supplied as a direct replacement for the original item.

Signs this part needs replacing

  • Visible weeping or dripping from a joint or along the pipe run
  • Corrosion, pitting or green/white scale deposits on the pipe surface
  • Water staining or damp patches inside the boiler casing beneath the pipe
  • Loss of system pressure that cannot be traced to any other component
  • Kettling, gurgling or air noise suggesting restricted or disturbed flow through the pipework

Before you order

  • Check the GC number on the appliance data badge against the compatibility list to confirm the correct variant
  • Confirm the alternative number 1782128 matches the pipe currently fitted
  • Inspect the associated seals, washers and O-rings and renew them at the same time if they show signs of hardening or perishing
  • Isolate the gas and water supplies and drain down before removing any internal pipework
