What it is
The Ideal 178060 is the front section of the heat exchanger assembly used on Ideal Commercial Evojet Moduate appliances. It forms the front face of the heat exchanger body, the component that transfers heat from combustion into the system water. The section is supplied as an individual casting so a damaged or scaled front face can be replaced without renewing the whole heat exchanger.
Signs this part needs replacing
- Kettling, banging or popping noises coming from the heat exchanger during firing.
- Overheating, repeated high-limit trips or lockouts that clear once the appliance cools.
- Water weeping from the section joints or around the gasket faces.
- Visible corrosion, scale build-up or pitting across the section face.
- Reduced heat output or a slower temperature rise than the appliance previously achieved.
Before you order
- Confirm the appliance model and serial number against the compatibility list before ordering.
- Check the alternative number 4038806 against the section being replaced.
- Inspect the gaskets and seals at the section joints and renew any that are hardened, split or compressed.
- Any work inside the appliance should be carried out by a competent engineer.
- This part is fitted to a gas appliance; installation must be carried out by a Gas Safe registered engineer.
