Ideal Washer 177977

The Ideal 177977 is a washer supplied by Ideal for use in its Commercial Evojet range of appliances. It sits at a joint or connection point and forms a watertight seal, preventing drips and weeps where two components meet. Washers of this type are a service item: they compress over time and are normally renewed whenever the joint they seal is disturbed.

• A weep or drip at the joint the washer seals, often showing as a bead of water on the fitting.
• Damp staining, scale trails or corrosion around the connection after the appliance has been running.
• The washer has hardened, flattened or cracked and no longer springs back when handled.
• A joint that continues to seep after being re-tightened, indicating the seal has taken a permanent set.
• Water tracking onto nearby casing or components beneath the connection.

• Confirm the appliance model against the compatibility list, as the same part number can appear across several Evojet variants.
• Cross-check the alternative number 4034823 against any documentation or label on the appliance before ordering.
• If the joint is being opened for other work, check whether any other seals or washers on the same assembly also need renewing.
• Any work inside the appliance casing should be carried out by a competent engineer, with the unit isolated and made safe first.
