Ideal Smoke Retarder Kit Van L 1570 173653

The Smoke Retarder Kit Van L 1570 is a flue-side component manufactured by Ideal for use on Ideal Commercial appliances. A smoke retarder sits in the flue gas path and slows the passage of combustion gases, which increases the time the gases spend in contact with the heat exchanger surface and improves heat transfer. The kit is supplied under Ideal part number 173653.
