Our Expert's Opinion
"A flow control assembly that ensures accurate switching between central heating and hot water circuits in compatible Ideal boilers."Ideal 179020 Diverter Valve Paddle and Body Kit
The Ideal 179020/918319 Diverter Valve Paddle and Body Kit is designed to regulate the flow of heated water within compatible Ideal combination boilers. When your boiler transitions between heating the radiators and producing domestic hot water, the diverter valve redirects the boiler’s output to the correct circuit. This kit includes both the paddle (the internal moving element that changes flow direction) and the body (the housing that guides and supports the paddle), engineered precisely to Ideal’s specifications for smooth, low-friction movement and leak-free operation.
A properly functioning diverter valve ensures that when a tap is turned on, the system prioritises hot water delivery, and when there’s a demand for central heating, the flow is routed accordingly without crossover. Over time, paddles can wear, become misaligned, or get sticky due to mineral deposits and internal wear, leading to symptoms such as radiators heating during hot water demand, lukewarm hot water, slow response to heating calls, or boiler fault codes indicating flow problems. Replacing the diverter valve paddle and body with this authentic Ideal kit restores accurate flow control, improves system responsiveness, and supports efficient, reliable boiler operation across all modes.
