Ideal Burner Front Plate Insulation 170586

The Ideal 170586 is a burner front plate insulation panel, manufactured under the Caradon name and supplied under the Ideal brand. It sits at the front of the burner assembly and shields surrounding components from the heat radiated at the burner face. The panel forms part of the combustion area build-up on Ideal Commercial appliances, where it protects the front plate and adjacent parts from sustained thermal load.
