Ideal logic 24,30,35 Combi Flow Sensor/Turbine Kit MPN 176473
✅ Ideal Flow Sensor/Turbine Kit 176473 — What it is
Part 176473 is a flow sensor / turbine switch used in many Ideal and related boiler models. This component sits in the boiler’s water circuit and detects water flow; if the boiler doesn’t detect the right flow, the ignition sequence is prevented.
🔧 Boiler models this fits
This 176473 flow sensor fits a large number of Ideal combi and system boiler models from across their range, including (but not limited to):

(*This list includes dozens of individual GC/serial variants — check your boiler’s exact code to confirm.)
🧠 What this part does
The flow sensor/turbine switch:
- Detects water flow when hot water or heating is demanded
- Tells the boiler’s PCB that it’s safe to fire the burner
- Prevents the burner from running without water flow (important safety function)
⚠️ Important tips
✔️ Always verify compatibility: Even if your boiler is the correct series name, different production prefixes or variant GC numbers can affect part fit‑up.
✔️ Match the manufacturer part number (176473) exactly — this avoids buying the wrong flow sensor.
✔️ Replace only with genuine or approved equivalent parts for safety and performance
