Ideal Smoke Retarder Kit Van L 1320 173652

The Ideal 173652 smoke retarder kit is a replacement flue-path component for Ideal Commercial appliances, specified for the Van L 1320 application. The retarder sits in the flue gas route, where it slows the passage of combustion products and helps maintain heat transfer across the heat exchanger before the gases leave the appliance. It is supplied as a kit rather than a single loose plate, so the parts needed for the job arrive together.

• Visible distortion, cracking or burn-through on the retarder plates
• Heavy sooting or carbon build-up around the flue path that returns after cleaning
• Discolouration or heat marking on surrounding flue components
• Combustion readings that drift outside the expected range on service
• Rattling or movement from a loose or degraded retarder within its housing

• Confirm the appliance model and serial number against the compatibility list before ordering
• Check the existing part number on the appliance and cross-reference it with 1179585
• Inspect the flue seals and gaskets while the appliance is open, and replace any that are perished
• Work on the flue path of a commercial appliance should be carried out by a competent, registered engineer
