Ideal Gas Inlet Pipe Vogue 176885

The Ideal gas inlet pipe, part number 176885, is the pipe section that carries gas from the appliance's inlet connection through to the gas valve assembly inside the boiler. It is supplied by Ideal for the Vogue range and for Ideal Commercial appliances, and it sits within the hoses and pipes group of boiler spares. The pipe is a direct replacement item, so the original connection points and routing are retained when it is fitted.

• A smell of gas or a detectable leak at the pipe joints or unions during a tightness test
• Visible corrosion, pitting or surface damage along the pipe run
• A kinked, crushed or distorted pipe that restricts gas flow to the burner
• Sooty flame picture, poor ignition or unstable burner performance traced to gas supply at the valve
• Pipework that has been disturbed or damaged during other repair work on the appliance

• Confirm the appliance model and GC number against the compatibility list before ordering, as the same Vogue name covers several variants
• Check the existing pipe against alternative number 1782613 to make sure the correct item is being replaced
• Inspect the joint seals and washers on removal and replace them if they show any sign of hardening or damage
