Ideal Expansion Vessel Clamp KSIR12004000

The expansion vessel clamp is a mounting component used to hold the expansion vessel securely in place inside Ideal Commercial appliances. It is supplied by Ideal under part number KSIR12004000 and forms part of the vessel mounting arrangement rather than the pressure circuit itself. A sound clamp keeps the vessel from shifting, which protects the connecting pipework and the vessel connection point from strain.

• The expansion vessel moves or rocks when the appliance is handled or serviced
• Visible corrosion, cracking or deformation on the clamp body
• The clamp no longer grips the vessel circumference correctly
• Strain or weeping at the vessel connection where the vessel has shifted
• Rattling or vibration noise traced to a loose vessel mounting

• Confirm the appliance model and serial number against the compatibility list before ordering
• Compare the existing clamp against the part number KSIR12004000 to confirm the correct fixing pattern
• Inspect the vessel and its connection while the clamp is off, as a loose vessel can stress the pipework
• Work on the appliance should be carried out by a competent person, with the appliance isolated and made safe first
