What it is

The Ideal 178072 is a strainer mesh used in the secondary circuit of an Ideal heat interface unit (HIU). It sits in the water path and catches circulating debris before it can travel further into the unit's components. The mesh is a service item, so it is removed and cleaned or replaced during routine maintenance of the secondary side.

Signs this part needs replacing

  • Reduced or uneven flow on the secondary side of the HIU
  • The mesh is visibly clogged with sludge, scale or magnetite
  • Debris passing through to downstream components despite the strainer being fitted
  • Tears, distortion or corrosion in the mesh itself
  • Repeated flow or temperature faults on the secondary circuit after cleaning

Before you order

  • Confirm the part number 178072 against your appliance before ordering
  • Note the alternative number 1783169, which may appear on older documentation
  • Check whether a seal or gasket is required when refitting the strainer housing
