Ideal Silicon Seal 60mm 176570

The Ideal silicon seal 176570 is a 60mm sealing component used where parts of a heating appliance join the pipework and waterways. It sits between mating surfaces to stop water escaping at the joint. It belongs to Ideal's range of gaskets, seals and washers, which covers heat exchangers, flue sections and other assemblies across the Esprit 2 and Evo HE families.

• Water weeping or a visible drip at the joint the seal sits in
• The seal feels hard, brittle or flattened instead of soft and springy
• Cracking, splitting or perishing visible on the seal face
• Scale, sludge or old jointing compound stuck to the sealing surface
• A joint that keeps leaking after being stripped and rebuilt

• Check the GC number or serial plate on the appliance to confirm the model before ordering
• Note the alternative number 1781922, which may appear on older documentation or parts listings
• If several joints are being opened at once, check whether the other seals and gaskets on the job also need replacing
• This part is fitted to a gas appliance; installation must be carried out by a Gas Safe registered engineer.
