The Ideal 177481 Harness Detection Lead is a genuine replacement electrical lead designed for use in compatible Ideal boiler models. It serves as the connection pathway between flame detection components (such as ionisation or flame sensing electrodes) and the boiler’s control system.

Function & Purpose

The detection lead carries low-voltage signals from flame detection electrodes to the boiler’s control circuitry. Accurate detection of flame presence is essential for safe boiler operation, as the control system relies on this feedback to confirm successful ignition and ongoing combustion. A properly functioning detection lead helps ensure reliable flame sensing, supports safe combustion control, and prevents unwanted shutdowns or safety lockouts. Replacing a damaged, worn, or intermittent detection lead helps restore dependable signal communication and boiler performance.

Compatibility

This harness detection lead is engineered to match original equipment specifications for compatible Ideal boilers that require part 177481. It is designed to provide correct fitment and reliable electrical connections when installed in the appropriate system.

Build Quality

As an authentic Ideal spare part, the 177481 Harness Detection Lead is manufactured to high quality standards. The wires, connectors, and insulation materials are chosen for durability and long-term reliability under the electrical and thermal conditions typical within boiler control systems.

Ideal Applications

This detection lead is ideal for heating engineers, service technicians, and installers performing maintenance, diagnostics, or electrical repairs on compatible Ideal boilers. It is particularly useful when flame sensing issues, intermittent operation, or error codes suggest a compromised detection lead, helping to restore safe and efficient boiler operation.
