Ideal Flange Gasket DN50 PN6 177324

The Ideal 177324 is a flange gasket rated DN50 PN6, used to seal a bolted flange joint on Ideal Commercial appliances. It sits between the mating flange faces and compresses under bolt load to stop water escaping at the joint. As a wear item it is replaced whenever the flange is broken and remade, or when the existing gasket has hardened or split.

• Water weeping or dripping from the flange joint, often visible as staining or scale on the pipework below
• A visible trickle or spray at the joint when the appliance is running or the system is under pressure
• The gasket face is cracked, perished, flattened or stuck to the flange when the joint is opened
• Repeated pressure loss on the system with no other obvious source
• Corrosion or rust tracking around the bolt holes and flange faces

• Confirm the flange size and pressure rating on the appliance match DN50 PN6 before ordering
• Check the appliance model and serial number against the compatibility list to confirm 177324 is the correct gasket
• Note the alternative number 1180495 when cross-referencing older documentation or stock records
• Inspect the flange faces and bolts while the joint is open, as a damaged face will not seal with a new gasket alone
