What it is
The Ideal 178140 is a condensate trap assembly used on Ideal Commercial appliances. It sits on the condensate path and collects the acidic water produced as the boiler condenses, then discharges it to the drain while keeping flue gases inside the combustion circuit. The trap is supplied under the Ideal Caradon brand and is listed by the manufacturer as a condensate assembly.
Signs this part needs replacing
- Water pooling beneath the appliance or around the condensate pipework
- Condensate overflowing from the trap body rather than draining away
- Flue gas smells or a combustion fault traced to a dry or blocked trap
- Visible cracking, distortion or heavy scale inside the trap
- Repeated condensate-related lockouts or fault codes on the appliance
Before you order
- Confirm the appliance model and serial number against the compatibility list before ordering
- Check the existing trap against the part number 178140 to be sure of the correct assembly
- Inspect the condensate pipework and any seals at the same time, as these are often disturbed during replacement
