Ideal Smoke Retarder Kit 173654

The Ideal 173654 Smoke Retarder Kit is a replacement assembly supplied by Ideal for use in its commercial appliance range. It sits in the flue gas path and works to limit the carry-over of smoke and soot particles leaving the combustion chamber, helping the appliance run cleanly and keeping deposits down in the flue and downstream components. The kit is supplied as a complete retarder assembly rather than as individual plates or fixings.

• Visible smoke or soot at the flue outlet during or after firing
• Soot deposits building up around the flue spigot or on the retarder itself
• Combustion readings drifting away from the figures recorded at commissioning
• Heat damage, distortion or corrosion on the existing retarder plates
• The retarder loose, missing or no longer sitting correctly in its housing

• Confirm the appliance model and serial number against the compatibility list before ordering
• Check the existing part number on the appliance, as 1179587 may appear on older documentation for the same item
• Inspect the surrounding flue components and seals at the same time, since soot build-up often affects more than the retarder alone
• Work on the appliance should be carried out by a competent engineer in line with the manufacturer's instructions
