What it is
The Ideal 177277 is a pressure test nipple supplied with its retaining screw, used on Ideal Commercial appliances. The nipple forms a small, threaded test point on the appliance where a pressure gauge or manometer can be connected, and the screw seals that point once testing is finished. It is a service item rather than a working component of the combustion or water circuit, so it is normally replaced when the test point is damaged, seized or weeping.
Signs this part needs replacing
- A visible weep or damp patch around the test point after the screw is tightened
- The screw will not seal, or the thread has been cross-threaded or stripped
- The nipple has been over-tightened and the hex or thread is deformed
- A gauge or manometer cannot be connected cleanly, giving unstable or drifting readings
- Corrosion or scale build-up around the test point on an older appliance
Before you order
- Confirm the appliance model and, where shown on the data badge, the GC number against the compatibility list
- Check the alternative number 1782844 against any documentation you hold, as it may be the number quoted on older paperwork
- Inspect the surrounding test point for thread damage before fitting, as a damaged housing will not seal with a new nipple
