The Ideal 177479 Fan Gasket is a genuine replacement sealing component designed for use in compatible Ideal boilers that utilise a combustion or flue fan. It provides a secure, heat-resistant seal between the fan assembly and surrounding components to help maintain proper airflow and combustion performance.

Function & Purpose

The fan gasket prevents air or flue gas leaks where the fan mounts to the boiler housing or flue pathway. A proper seal supports correct airflow through the combustion system, reduces noise and vibration, and helps maintain efficient, safe operation by preventing unwanted leakage. Replacing a worn, cracked, or deteriorated fan gasket helps restore airtight sealing and reliable fan performance.

Compatibility

This fan gasket is engineered to match original equipment specifications for compatible Ideal boiler models that require the 177479 part. It is designed for accurate fitment and dependable performance when installed in the appropriate system.

Build Quality

As an authentic Ideal spare part, the 177479 Fan Gasket is manufactured to high quality standards. The materials are selected for heat resistance, durability, and long-term reliability under the thermal and mechanical stresses typical of fan and combustion air applications.

Ideal Applications

This fan gasket is ideal for heating engineers, service technicians, and installers performing maintenance, servicing, or part replacements on compatible Ideal boilers. It is particularly useful when air leaks, reduced combustion efficiency, unusual fan noise, or vibration indicate that the existing gasket may be compromised, helping to restore efficient, quiet, and safe boiler operation.
