Ideal Flow Regulator Vogue C32 Gen2 179128

The Ideal 179128 is a flow regulator used in Ideal Vogue and Vogue Max combi boilers. It sits in the water section of the appliance and controls the rate at which water passes through the boiler, which in turn helps the appliance hold a steady domestic hot water temperature. It is a direct replacement component for the Vogue C32 Gen2 family and the related models listed below.

• Reduced hot water flow at the taps while the boiler still fires normally
• Hot water temperature that drifts, fluctuates or runs away from the set point
• The boiler cycling or cutting out during a hot water draw-off
• Visible scale, debris or physical damage on the regulator body or its inlet
• Whistling or unusual noise from the water section when a tap is opened

• Confirm the GC number on the appliance data badge matches one of those listed above.
• Check the model and generation carefully — the Vogue C32 Gen2 and Vogue C32 IE Gen2 carry different GC numbers.
• Note the alternative part number 1783060 when cross-referencing older stock or documentation.
• Isolate the water and electrical supplies before starting work, and have the appliance checked by a competent person afterwards.
• This part is fitted to a gas appliance; installation must be carried out by a Gas Safe registered engineer.
