Rayburn Removable Brick Nouvelle Ro4F320001 R1364

8 needed for a Set

The Rayburn Removable Brick (Part Number: R1364), also referenced by the technical code RO4F320001, is a specific refractory brick used in the combustion chamber of Rayburn Nouvelle solid fuel and wood-burning cookers.

In solid fuel Rayburns, firebricks are essential for protecting the cast iron outer body of the cooker from the intense direct heat of the fire. They also act as a thermal store, reflecting heat back into the firebox to ensure efficient combustion and maintaining the high temperatures required for the ovens and boilers to function correctly. The "removable" nature of this brick allows for easier maintenance and replacement without dismantling the entire firebox.

Key Features and Specifications

Part Number: R1364.

Alternate Reference: RO4F320001.

Compatibility: Primarily designed for the Rayburn Nouvelle (Solid Fuel / Wood models).

Material: High-density refractory ceramic/fireclay designed to withstand extreme temperatures and thermal shock.

Function: Protects the boiler and side castings while insulating the firebox to maintain high cooking and water-heating temperatures.

Common Signs a Replacement is Needed

Cracking or Crumbling: While small hairline cracks are common, large gaps or missing chunks indicate the brick can no longer protect the metalwork behind it.

Thinning: Over years of use, the abrasive action of fuel and ash can wear the brick down, reducing its insulating properties.

Dislodgement: If the brick becomes loose or falls forward, it can obstruct the fuel bed or the airflow required for a clean burn.

Installation and Maintenance

Ash Removal: Before replacing, ensure the firebox is completely cold and all ash and clinker have been thoroughly cleared out.

Positioning: The R1364 is shaped to fit a specific location within the Nouvelle firebox. Ensure it is seated firmly against the casting to prevent "hot spots."

Handling: Firebricks are brittle. Avoid dropping them or hitting them with heavy fuel logs, as they can snap easily before they are "cured" by the first few fires.

Curing: When you first light a fire after installing new bricks, it is best practice to have a small, gentle fire initially to drive out any residual moisture in the ceramic.

Essential Companion Products

Fire Cement: Used to seal small gaps between bricks or where the brick meets the casting.

Grates: Replacement Bottom Grates or Fire Bars for the Nouvelle.

Tools: Heavy-duty ash shovels and rakes.

Gaskets: Replacement Door Seals and Glass Gaskets to maintain airtight combustion.
