The Ideal 173657 smoke retarder kit is a flue component supplied for Ideal Commercial appliances. It sits within the flue gas path in the Van L 3000 arrangement named in the part listing, where it restricts the passage of smoke and combustion products so that flue testing and draught checks can be carried out reliably. It is produced by Ideal as a service item for their commercial range.
