Ideal By-Pass Pipe Vogue 176995

The Ideal 176995 is a by-pass pipe used in the internal pipework of Ideal Vogue boilers. It sits within the boiler's water circuit and provides a route for flow to bypass the main heat exchanger path, helping to keep circulation and temperature control stable during operation. The part is listed under Ideal's hoses and pipes range and is also referenced by the alternative number 1782677.

• Water weeping or damp staining around the by-pass pipe connections
• Corrosion, pitting or surface cracking on the pipe
• Sludge or scale build-up restricting flow through the pipe bore
• The boiler reaching temperature quickly and cycling on and off
• Kettling, gurgling or rushing noises from the heat exchanger circuit

• Check the GC number on the appliance data badge against the list above before ordering.
• Confirm the pipe currently fitted carries the number 176995 or the alternative number 1782677.
• Inspect the seals and washers at the pipe joints, as these are disturbed when the pipe is removed and may need replacing at the same time.
