Ideal Smoke Retarder Kit Van L 2200 173655

The Ideal 173655 is a smoke retarder kit for Ideal Commercial appliances, listed against the Van L 2200 assembly reference (26998). It sits within the flue path and slows the passage of flue gases, which helps the appliance hold its combustion and emissions performance in service. It is supplied as a kit rather than a single plate, so the components that make up the retarder assembly arrive together.

• Visible smoke or haze at the flue terminal while the appliance is running
• Soot deposits or dark discolouration around the flue outlet or terminal
• Combustion readings drifting outside the expected range during a service
• Distorted, corroded or loose retarder plates inside the flue path
• Flue gas odour or spillage noticed close to the appliance

• Confirm the appliance model and serial number against the compatibility list before ordering
• Quote part number 173655 so the correct kit is picked
• Note the alternative number 1179588, as some listings use that reference for the same kit
• Inspect the flue seals and gaskets disturbed during removal and renew them if they are perished
