Ideal Domestic Pilot Burner & Injector Spares Kit 171142

Product Overview

The Ideal Domestic Pilot Burner & Injector Spares Kit (Part Number: 171142) is a gas ignition component kit designed for selected Ideal heating systems.

The kit is associated with the boiler's pilot burner assembly, which produces a small pilot flame used to ignite the main gas burner.

The pilot injector controls the gas flow supplied to the pilot burner, helping establish the flame required for the appliance's ignition process.

Correct operation of the pilot burner and injector is important for reliable ignition and safe boiler operation.

ℹ️ Product Condition Options:

This part may be available in New or Refurbished condition. Please select your desired option from the dropdown menu above. Any refurbished gas burner components must be professionally inspected and tested to confirm their condition and suitability before installation.

Technical Insight & Common Failure Symptoms

The pilot burner and injector form part of the boiler's gas ignition system.

The pilot injector meters the gas supplied to the pilot burner, while the burner provides the pilot flame used to ignite the main burner when heat is required.

Contamination, restricted gas passages, mechanical damage or deterioration of the pilot assembly may affect pilot flame stability and ignition performance.

Possible symptoms that may indicate a pilot burner, injector or associated ignition system problem include:

• Pilot flame failing to ignite.

• Pilot flame failing to remain established.

• Weak, irregular or unstable pilot flame.

• Main burner failing to ignite from the pilot flame.

• Contamination or blockage affecting the pilot injector.

• Visible corrosion or deterioration of the pilot burner.

• Intermittent ignition or burner operation.

• Damage identified during pilot assembly inspection.

These symptoms do not necessarily confirm a faulty pilot burner or injector, as similar problems may result from thermocouple faults, gas supply issues, gas valve problems or other ignition components. Correct professional diagnosis should be carried out before replacement.

Compatibility

This part (MPN: 171142) is associated with selected Ideal Mexico Super, Concord and other compatible Ideal gas appliance ranges.

Please verify the exact appliance model, GC number, gas type, pilot assembly configuration and part number against the manufacturer's technical documentation before ordering to ensure correct fitment.

Safety Advice

Pilot burners and gas injectors are safety-critical components within the appliance's gas ignition system. Inspection, removal and installation must only be carried out by a Gas Safe registered engineer who is suitably qualified for the appliance and fuel type.

Always isolate the appliance and gas supply before carrying out any work and follow the manufacturer's servicing instructions. The pilot burner and injector must be correctly installed and checked for the specified gas type. All required gas-tightness, pilot flame, ignition, combustion and operational safety checks must be completed before the appliance is returned to service.
