The Dip Tube on Your IBC Boiler

The dip tube carries incoming cold water to the bottom of a storage or indirect tank so hot water is drawn from the top. A broken or disintegrating dip tube causes lukewarm water and debris in the system.

On IBC systems — including models such as SL 20-160, VFC 15-150, V-10 — a failing dip tube often shows up as ignition lockout or related symptoms. We diagnose it precisely and install the correct genuine IBC part.
