Ideal Motorised Flue Damper F320 174682

The motorised flue damper, part number 174682, is an Ideal flue assembly component used on Ideal Commercial appliances. It sits within the flue path and uses a motor-driven flap to open and close the flue passage as the appliance cycles, regulating the flow of combustion products through the flue.

It is supplied as a spare for the Ideal Commercial Imax Xtra range and is listed by Ideal under the flue assembly spare part type.

• The appliance locks out or reports a flue-related fault code during or after a firing cycle.
• The damper flap does not move when the appliance calls for heat, or remains stuck in one position.
• The damper motor runs continuously, buzzes, or is noticeably noisy when the appliance starts.
• Visible damage, corrosion or seizure around the damper spindle or flap inside the flue assembly.
• Intermittent operation where the appliance runs correctly on some cycles and faults on others.

• Confirm the appliance model and serial number against the compatibility list, as the damper is specific to the Imax Xtra E320 and F320 variants.
• Check the existing damper and flue assembly for any gaskets or seals that will need renewing at the same time.
• Quote part number 174682 when ordering to avoid confusion with the alternative number 1781322.
• This part is fitted to a gas appliance; installation must be carried out by a Gas Safe registered engineer.
