Ideal Safety Group 176729

The Ideal 176729 Safety Group is a pressure relief assembly supplied by Ideal for use in their commercial and solar thermal appliance ranges. It combines the pressure relief function with the associated safety components in a single factory-assembled unit, opening to discharge when system pressure rises above the set threshold and closing again once pressure returns to normal. It is listed under the pressure relief valve category of the Ideal Domestic Boiler Spares range.

• Water continually discharging from the relief outlet or discharge pipe when the system is at normal operating pressure
• System pressure dropping repeatedly, requiring frequent top-ups on the filling loop
• The valve weeping or dripping from the outlet with the system cold
• Scale, debris or corrosion visible around the valve seat or outlet, preventing it from sealing
• Pressure gauge readings climbing beyond the normal working range without the valve relieving

• Confirm the appliance model and, where available, the serial number before ordering, as the safety group is used across more than one Ideal range
• Cross-check the alternative number 1783119 against any number shown on the existing component or in the appliance documentation
• Inspect the mating faces and any seals on the existing assembly, as these are often disturbed during removal and may need replacing at the same time
