Ideal Smoke Retarder Kit Van L 4000 178091

The smoke retarder kit is an Ideal flue component intended for Ideal Commercial appliances in the Van L 4000 range. It sits in the flue gas path and works to slow the passage of exhaust gases, which helps limit visible smoke leaving the appliance. The kit is supplied as a serviceable assembly so the retarder can be renewed when the original has degraded or become contaminated.

• Visible smoke or haze at the flue outlet while the appliance is running
• Soot or dark deposits building up around the flue terminal or on the retarder itself
• Combustion readings drifting outside the expected range for the appliance
• Corrosion, distortion or mechanical damage to the retarder plates
• Rattling or movement of the retarder within the flue assembly

• Confirm your appliance model and serial number against the compatibility list
• Check the part number stamped on the existing component or listed in the appliance documentation
• Note the alternative numbers 1180771 and 95901075, which may appear on older paperwork or labels
• Inspect the flue joint seals while the flue is open and renew them if they are perished
