What it is
The Ideal 173658 is a smoke retarder kit produced by Ideal for its Commercial appliance range. The kit is listed for the Van L 3500 (27001) application, where the retarder sits in the flue gas path and its baffle surfaces slow the passage of combustion gases. Slowing the gas flow raises heat transfer to the appliance surfaces and reduces visible smoke carry-over at the flue.
Signs this part needs replacing
- Visible smoke or dark exhaust at the flue while the appliance is running
- Soot or carbon deposits around the flue outlet or heat exchanger surfaces
- Combustion readings drifting outside the expected band for the appliance
- Flue gas temperature running higher than normal at the same load
- Distortion, corrosion or burn-through on the retarder surfaces
Before you order
- Confirm the appliance model and serial number against the compatibility list for this part
- Cross-reference the alternative number 1179591 when checking older service documentation
- Inspect any gasket or seal disturbed during removal and order a replacement if it is being reused
- Work on the flue gas path should be carried out by a competent engineer, with the appliance isolated and allowed to cool first
