What it is

The Ideal 178061 is the front section of the heat exchanger assembly used on Ideal commercial appliances. It forms part of the heat exchanger, the component that transfers heat from the burner's combustion gases into the water circuit. Ideal lists it under the heat exchanger part type, and it is also identified by the alternative number 4038815.

Signs this part needs replacing

  • Kettling, banging or rumbling from the heat exchanger while the burner is firing
  • Localised overheating or repeated high-limit trips on the appliance
  • Water weeping from the section joints or around the heat exchanger body
  • Visible corrosion, scale build-up or distortion on the section face
  • Combustion readings drifting outside the expected range for the appliance

Before you order

  • Confirm the appliance model and serial number against the compatibility list before ordering.
  • Check the number on the existing component and cross-reference it with 178061 and 4038815.
  • Inspect the section joint seals and gaskets while the heat exchanger is open, and order replacements if they are being disturbed.
  • This part is fitted to a gas appliance; installation must be carried out by a Gas Safe registered engineer.
