Ideal Independent i Mini 24 30 35 Boiler Sump Cover Kit 175896

Product Overview

The Ideal Boiler Sump & Cover Kit (Part Number: 175896) is a condensate management component designed for selected Ideal heating systems.

The sump is positioned beneath the boiler's primary heat exchanger, where it collects condensate produced during the combustion process and directs it towards the condensate drainage system.

The associated cover forms part of the sump assembly, helping to maintain the correct arrangement of the condensate collection components.

Correct sump and cover installation is important for maintaining the integrity of the boiler's condensate and combustion system.

ℹ️ Product Condition Options:

This part may be available in New or Refurbished condition. Please select your desired option from the dropdown menu above. Refurbished components should be professionally inspected for cracks, deformation, damaged sealing surfaces and general deterioration before installation.

Technical Insight & Common Failure Symptoms

The sump forms part of the boiler's condensate collection system. During normal condensing operation, water vapour in the combustion gases condenses as heat is recovered by the heat exchanger.

The resulting condensate collects in the sump before passing through the condensate drainage arrangement.

Damage, deterioration or restrictions affecting the sump assembly may interfere with condensate drainage or the integrity of the associated combustion components.

Possible signs that the sump or associated components require inspection include:

• Condensate leakage around the sump assembly.

• Visible cracks or physical damage to the sump or cover.

• Damaged or deteriorated sealing surfaces.

• Condensate accumulation caused by drainage restrictions.

• Corrosion or deterioration around associated connections.

• Loose or damaged sump cover fixings.

• Damage identified during boiler servicing.

These symptoms do not necessarily confirm a faulty sump assembly, as similar problems may result from blocked condensate pipes, condensate trap faults, damaged seals or other boiler components. Correct professional diagnosis should be carried out before replacement.

Compatibility

This part (MPN: 175896) is associated with selected Ideal Independent and i Mini boiler systems.

Certain applications specify the sump kit for appliance production prefixes XN, XO and onwards.

Please verify the exact boiler model, GC number, production prefix, part number and sump configuration against the manufacturer's technical documentation before ordering to ensure correct fitment.

Safety Advice

Boiler sump assemblies and associated condensate and combustion components must only be inspected, removed or installed by a Gas Safe registered engineer who is suitably qualified for the appliance and work being undertaken.

Always isolate the appliance and allow it to cool before carrying out any work. Follow the manufacturer's installation and servicing instructions, ensuring that the sump, cover, seals and condensate drainage connections are correctly installed. All required condensate drainage, combustion integrity, flue and operational safety checks must be completed before the boiler is returned to service.
