What it is

The Ariston 996046 is a by-pass component for Ariston gas boilers, listed by the manufacturer under the description "BY-PASS - FUGAS". It sits within the boiler's hydraulic circuit, where the by-pass maintains flow through the appliance as system demand changes. It is used across a number of Ariston Microcombi, Microsystem, Microtec, Ecosystem, EST, NEW R2 and Excalibur appliances.

Signs this part needs replacing

  • Boiler short-cycling or frequent burner shutdowns as heating demand falls
  • Overheating, or a widening flow and return temperature differential
  • Noise from the boiler or pipework when thermostatic radiator valves close down
  • Poor circulation or uneven heating when only a few radiators are open
  • Flow or temperature related fault codes and lockouts

Before you order

  • Confirm the boiler model and, where shown, the GC number against the fitment list.
  • On Microcombi 27 MFFI, check the serial number — this part applies from serial number 2320309500001.
  • Check the appliance edition (Edition One, Two, Three or Four) as listed.
  • Confirm the number 996046 matches the existing component or the manufacturer's parts list.
