Worcester Bosch Burner Gasket 87161409020

The Worcester Bosch 87161409020 is a burner gasket that seals the joint between the burner and the appliance body. It compresses under the burner flange to give an airtight, gas-tight joint, keeping combustion air and flue products where they belong and holding the burner steady on its mounting face. The part is used across Worcester Bosch oil-fired Boilerhouse and Danesmoor ranges, where the burner seal is disturbed whenever the burner is removed for servicing or cleaning.

• A combustion or kerosene smell around the burner housing after the burner is refitted
• Soot streaks or staining on the burner mounting face or the surrounding casing
• A gasket that has hardened, flattened, cracked or crumbled when the burner is pulled out
• Unstable, noisy or uneven burner running that does not settle after servicing
• Repeated lockouts or flame-failure faults traced to the burner joint

• Check the appliance model and serial number against the compatibility list, as the same burner seal is shared across several Boilerhouse and Danesmoor variants
• Compare the number on the old gasket with 87161409020, 1017599 and ZEGAS013 to confirm you are ordering the same item
• Inspect the burner mounting face for distortion or corrosion before fitting, and renew the gasket every time the burner is removed
• This part is fitted to a gas appliance; installation must be carried out by a Gas Safe registered engineer.
