Ideal Access Flap Kit Esprit Eco 176718

The Ideal 176718 access flap kit is a replacement casing component for Ideal gas boilers. It forms the hinged flap section of the outer casing assembly, covering the controls and test points behind the front panel. The kit is listed by Ideal under the part type casing assembly and is used across the Esprit Eco and Classic 2 appliance families.

• The access flap is missing from the front casing, leaving the controls exposed.
• Hinge lugs or pivot points on the flap have snapped, so the flap will not sit in the casing.
• The flap hangs loose or drops open instead of staying closed against the panel.
• Cracking, warping or heat discolouration across the flap surface.
• The casing panel around the flap no longer lines up, usually after the flap has been forced or knocked.

• Check the GC number on the appliance data badge against the compatibility list below before ordering.
• Confirm the boiler model and variant, as the Esprit Eco and Classic 2 ranges use several casing configurations.
• Inspect the casing hinge points and fixings for damage, since a broken hinge can prevent a new flap from seating correctly.
• The alternative number 1781976 may appear on older listings or documentation for the same component.
