Ideal Gas Pipe Vogue C26 S15 S18 179137

The Ideal 179137 is a gas pipe that forms part of the internal pipework on Ideal Vogue and Vogue Max appliances. It carries gas through the appliance to the point of combustion, so correct routing and a sound seal at each connection are essential to safe operation. The pipe is supplied as an Ideal Spares component and is listed against the Vogue C26, Vogue Max Combi 26 and Vogue Max System 15 families.

• A gas soundness test fails at a joint on the internal pipework, or a leak detection fluid shows bubbling at a connection.
• A persistent smell of gas around the appliance casing, with the appliance isolated immediately as a precaution.
• Visible corrosion, pitting, cracking or a flattened section on the pipe run.
• A kinked or distorted pipe where the appliance has been worked on previously, restricting gas flow.
• Poor combustion readings or intermittent ignition faults traced to restricted gas supply through the internal pipework.

• Confirm the appliance model and GC number against the compatibility list, as the same pipe number is used across several Vogue variants.
• Check the part number 179137 on the existing component or in the appliance documentation before ordering.
• Inspect the joint seals and washers on the pipe run and replace them where they are disturbed during the repair.
• This part is fitted to a gas appliance; installation must be carried out by a Gas Safe registered engineer.
