High-Precision Control: The Ideal 173973 (Diehl Typ 884.2k)
The Ideal Digital Timer Programmer (173973), also known by its Diehl manufacturer code Typ 884.2k, is a premium hardware component designed for the modern UK heating market. At ECO Heat Shop, we prioritize components that enhance home sustainability. By utilizing a digital programmer rather than a traditional mechanical clock, you eliminate timing “drift,” ensuring your boiler fires exactly when needed—drastically reducing gas wastage and lowering your utility bills.
This unit is specifically engineered to integrate into the fascia of Ideal boilers. Its robust electronic design ensures silent operation and provides a crisp digital display, making it the perfect upgrade for boilers located in noise-sensitive areas like kitchens or bedrooms.
Key Features & Professional Benefits

- High-Contrast LCD: Displays the current time and heating status clearly, removing the guesswork from your boiler’s schedule.
- Internal Battery Backup: Protects your carefully set heating cycles from being lost during power outages, saving you the time and hassle of manual reprogramming.
