Ideal Grille Air Inlet 178182

The Ideal Grille Air Inlet, part number 178182, is a flue assembly component supplied for Ideal Commercial appliances. It forms the air inlet grille section of the flue arrangement, allowing combustion air to enter the appliance while keeping the flue path correctly configured. It is listed as a spare for the Ideal Commercial Imax XEL range and is a gas appliance part, so replacement falls under Gas Safe working requirements.

• Visible cracking, corrosion or deformation of the grille or its surrounding housing
• A blocked or restricted air inlet leading to poor combustion, flame failure or lockout
• A loose or rattling grille that no longer seats correctly in the flue assembly
• Water ingress, staining or debris build-up around the flue terminal and inlet area
• Repeated ignition faults traced back to restricted combustion air supply

• Confirm your appliance model and serial number against the compatibility list before ordering.
• This part is fitted to a gas appliance; installation must be carried out by a Gas Safe registered engineer.
• Check whether the existing gasket or seal needs renewing at the same time as the grille.
• Have the appliance GC number to hand if you need to confirm the exact variant.
