Ideal Bracket Kit Expansion Vessel 176513

The Ideal 176513 is a bracket kit used to mount the expansion vessel inside Ideal domestic combi and system boilers. It holds the vessel firmly against the appliance casing so the vessel body and its connection to the heating circuit stay supported and stable through expansion and contraction cycles. The kit is supplied by Ideal as a service spare for the Classic Combi, Esprit Eco and Exclusive ranges.

• The expansion vessel moves, rocks or rattles inside the casing when the appliance is running.
• Visible corrosion, cracking or distortion on the bracket or its clamp.
• The vessel sits at an angle or has dropped away from its original mounting position.
• Vibration or drumming noise transmitted through the casing and pipework.
• The bracket will not hold the vessel squarely after the vessel has been removed and refitted for service work.

• Check the GC number or the data plate on the appliance against the compatibility list before ordering, as the same bracket kit is used across several Ideal ranges.
• Note the alternative part number 1781990 when cross-referencing older manuals, stock lists or supplier records.
• Inspect the expansion vessel connection and its seal while the bracket is removed, and renew the seal if it shows wear or hardening.
• Casing and internal component work should follow Ideal's service instructions for the specific appliance model.
