What it is
The Ideal 178139 is a condensate hose supplied by Ideal for use on Ideal Commercial appliances. It forms part of the condensate removal route, taking acidic condensate produced during combustion away from the heat exchanger and towards the trap and drain point. The hose is a service item, so it is replaced when it hardens, splits or becomes blocked rather than cleaned and refitted.
Signs this part needs replacing
- Water or condensate pooling beneath the appliance or around the condensate trap
- Visible cracking, hardening or perishing of the hose wall
- Scale or sludge build-up inside the bore restricting flow
- Repeated condensate blockage faults or lockouts on the appliance
- Damp staining on pipework or panels near the condensate route
Before you order
- Confirm the appliance model and serial number against the compatibility list before ordering
- Compare the part number on the existing hose with 178139, as layout differs between appliance variants
- Check the condensate trap and any sealing washers or clips at the same time, as these are often disturbed during replacement
