What it is
The Ideal 178948 is a chassis front seal used on Ideal boilers and commercial appliances. It sits at the front chassis joint, where it closes the gap between mating surfaces and keeps water and flue products contained within the appliance casing. It is listed under the gaskets, o-rings, seals and washers group of Ideal spare parts.
Signs this part needs replacing
- Water weeping or tracking around the front chassis joint
- Visible cracking, flattening or hardening of the seal material
- Rust staining, scale or corrosion marks along the seal face
- Traces of water inside the casing after the appliance has been running
- The seal coming away from its seating when the front panel is removed
