Ideal 069586 Flueway Baffle Support 81238286

The Ideal 069586 is a flueway baffle support manufactured for Ideal Commercial appliances. It sits within the flueway and holds the baffle in its correct position so flue gases pass over the heat exchanger surfaces as the appliance was designed to do. It is supplied under manufacturer code 069586 and is also listed as 81238286.

• The flueway baffle is loose, dropped or sitting out of line inside the flueway.
• Rattling or metallic noise from the flueway area during firing.
• Combustion readings drifting outside the expected range with no other obvious cause.
• Soot or discolouration building up unevenly across the flueway or heat exchanger.
• The support shows cracking, distortion or corrosion where it locates the baffle.

• Confirm the appliance model and serial number against the compatibility list, as Ideal Commercial units share similar flueway layouts.
• Check the number on the existing part or in the manual — 81238286 and 1173540 both refer to this item.
• Inspect the baffle itself and any seals or gaskets disturbed during access, and replace them if they are degraded.
