Ideal 067504 Stainless Steel Baffle Plate 81238280

The Ideal 067504 is a stainless steel baffle plate supplied as a replacement component for Ideal Commercial appliances. The baffle sits within the heat exchanger flue path, where it slows the passage of hot combustion gases so more heat is transferred into the water circuit rather than lost up the flue. Because it works directly in the flue gas stream, it is exposed to sustained high temperatures and is manufactured in stainless steel to resist scaling and distortion.

• Combustion readings drifting outside the expected range for the appliance, with flue gas temperatures running higher than normal
• Visible corrosion, pitting, warping or burn-through on the plate surface
• Soot or debris build-up around the baffle that cannot be cleared by routine cleaning
• Rattling or movement of the plate inside the heat exchanger, suggesting it is no longer seated or held correctly
• Overheating symptoms or repeated lockouts traced to restricted or disrupted flue gas flow through the heat exchanger

• Confirm the appliance model and GC number against the compatibility list below, as baffle plates differ between Ideal Commercial variants
• Check the part number on the existing baffle plate before removal so the replacement matches what came out
• Inspect any gaskets, seals or fastenings disturbed during removal and renew them if they are compressed, brittle or damaged
