Ideal Flexible Inlet Pipe Recuperator ABT Onwards 178064

The Ideal 178064 is a flexible inlet pipe that feeds the recuperator section of the appliance. It is manufactured by Ideal for the Logic Code Combi range and is listed under the hoses and pipes part group. The flexible section absorbs movement and vibration between the recuperator and the surrounding pipework, so it needs to remain sound and free from weeping at both connections.

• Water weeping or a visible drip at either end of the flexible pipe
• Damp staining, corrosion or limescale tracking around the recuperator inlet connection
• A flexible section that has hardened, cracked or perished with age
• Falling system pressure that cannot be traced to any other part of the circuit
• Restricted flow or noise from the inlet side of the recuperator

• Check the appliance GC number and serial number against the compatibility list to confirm the pipe suits your model.
• Confirm the appliance prefix is ABT or later, as the part is listed for units from that point onwards.
• Inspect the sealing washers and connections at the recuperator inlet while the appliance is open, and replace any that are compressed or damaged.
• This part is fitted to a gas appliance; installation must be carried out by a Gas Safe registered engineer.
