What it is
The Ideal 178142 is a burner hood manufactured by Ideal for its Commercial Imax XEL range of gas boilers. It forms part of the burner assembly, sitting over the burner head to shield it and help shape the flow of the air and gas mixture through the combustion chamber. A sound hood keeps combustion stable and protects the burner from radiant heat and debris carried in the air stream.
Signs this part needs replacing
- Visible distortion, cracking or heavy scaling on the hood surface after prolonged heat exposure
- Sooting or blackening around the burner head that returns after cleaning
- Unstable flame picture, flame lift or flame roll-out at the burner
- Rising CO readings or combustion analysis that will not settle within tolerance
- Corrosion or burn-through where the hood meets the burner body
Before you order
- Confirm the boiler model and serial number against the compatibility list, as the Imax XEL range covers several output sizes
- Check the existing hood and burner head for related damage, as distortion often affects more than one component
- This part is fitted to a gas appliance; installation must be carried out by a Gas Safe registered engineer.
