What it is
The Ideal Sight Glass, part number 178100, is a replacement viewing window for Ideal commercial boiler assemblies.

The item carries the Ves0020 reference and is catalogued under Ideal Domestic Boiler Spares.
Signs this part needs replacing
- The glass is cracked, chipped or crazed, so the flame view is distorted or unsafe.
- Heavy sooting or discolouration on the glass obscures the burner flame.
- Condensation or moisture is trapped behind the glass.
- Staining or leakage is visible around the sight glass seating.
- Flame presence cannot be confirmed clearly during a service or safety check.
Before you order
