Ideal Flow Pipe Vogue C40 176859

The Ideal 176859 is a flow pipe used in the internal pipework of Ideal Vogue appliances. It forms part of the water circuit that carries heated water away from the heat exchanger towards the rest of the system, so it sits in a pressurised, hot section of the boiler.

This pipe is manufactured by Ideal for the Vogue range and is listed under the hoses and pipes part type. Because it is a shaped, appliance-specific component rather than a generic length of tube, it is matched to the routing and connection points inside the Vogue casing.

• Visible weeping, staining or a damp patch around the pipe or its joints inside the casing
• Corrosion, pitting or scale build-up on the pipe surface, particularly at bends and connection points
• Loss of system pressure that cannot be traced to any other part of the circuit
• Restricted flow through the pipe, leading to poor heating performance or the appliance cutting out on temperature
• A pinhole leak that sprays or drips when the boiler is running hot

• Confirm the appliance model and GC number against the compatibility list, as Vogue C and S variants use different internal layouts
• Check the pipe against the original before fitting, since routing and connection orientation must match the appliance
• Have a suitable gasket or seal ready for the joint if the existing one is disturbed during removal
• Isolate the water and power supplies and allow the appliance to cool before starting work
