The ALT Detection Electrode 175592 is a non-branded compatible replacement component designed as an alternative to the original Ideal 175592 detection electrode.
Also known as a flame sensing electrode, flame detection electrode or boiler detection electrode, this component is used to detect flame presence inside the boiler combustion chamber. It helps the boiler control system confirm that the burner flame has been established safely during operation.
A faulty, worn or contaminated detection electrode can cause flame-detection issues, ignition faults, intermittent boiler lockouts or unreliable heating and hot water performance. This compatible alternative is designed as a cost-effective replacement option for selected boilers using the original 175592 detection electrode reference.
The detection electrode is an important boiler safety component. It confirms flame presence after ignition and helps prevent unsafe burner operation. If the boiler cannot reliably detect the flame, it may shut down or lock out to protect the appliance and heating system.
Common signs of a faulty detection electrode can include failed ignition, flame-sensing fault codes, intermittent lockouts, repeated reset requirements or unreliable heating and hot water operation.
This part is intended as a compatible alternative for appliances using original part reference 175592. Compatibility can vary depending on the exact boiler model, GC number, production date and appliance version. Always compare the existing component and confirm suitability before ordering.
This is a non-branded compatible / alternative component. It is manufactured for use as an alternative to the original branded boiler part and will not be supplied in boiler manufacturer packaging.
Please note: Product appearance, finish and packaging may differ from the original branded part. Always confirm compatibility before fitting.
This boiler component should only be fitted by a suitably qualified heating engineer. Gas boiler servicing and repairs must be carried out by a Gas Safe registered engineer in accordance with current UK regulations and the appliance manufacturer’s instructions.
