What it is

The Ideal 179306 is a complete hydroblock kit for the Logic Code Combi ESP1 range. The hydroblock is the hydraulic centre of a combi boiler: it carries the diverter valve, the domestic hot water and heating circuit connections, and the flow sensing components that tell the boiler when a hot tap is opened. Replacing the assembly as a complete kit restores correct switching between heating and hot water and renews the seals and waterways in one operation.

Signs this part needs replacing

  • No hot water while the heating continues to run, or hot water only when the heating is on
  • Domestic hot water temperature swinging between hot and cold at the tap
  • The diverter valve failing to move between heating and hot water positions
  • Water weeping from the hydroblock body, seals or connection points
  • Boiler locking out or reporting a fault when a hot tap is opened

Before you order

  • Check the GC number and appliance serial plate to confirm the boiler is a Logic Code Combi ESP1 26 before ordering
  • Note the alternative part number 1783016 when cross-referencing against older documentation
  • Inspect the seals and gaskets on the existing pipework, as these are disturbed during replacement
  • This part is fitted to a gas appliance; installation must be carried out by a Gas Safe registered engineer.
