What it is

The Worcester Bosch 87161127860 is a diverter valve housing for Worcester Bosch and British Gas badged gas boilers. It sits in the appliance's hydraulic circuit and directs water flow between the central heating and domestic hot water paths, so the boiler can serve the tap or the radiators as demand requires. The housing forms the body of the diverter assembly and is a serviceable component within the Greenstar range of combi and system appliances.

Signs this part needs replacing

  • No hot water, or hot water only available while the central heating is running
  • Domestic hot water temperature swinging hot and cold at the tap
  • The boiler fails to change over cleanly between heating and hot water demand
  • Water weeping from the valve body, its joints or the surrounding hydraulic block
  • The diverter motor runs but the flow path does not change, or the appliance reports a related fault

Before you order

  • Check the appliance GC number and serial plate against the compatibility list before ordering, as the same part number is used across a wide spread of Greenstar and British Gas badged models.
  • Cross-reference the alternative number 1021781 to confirm you are ordering the correct housing for the appliance in front of you.
  • Inspect the seals, O-rings and gaskets on the existing assembly and replace any that are perished or flattened while the housing is off.
  • This part is fitted to a gas appliance; installation must be carried out by a Gas Safe registered engineer.
