1. Maximum burn times and heat outputs are based on laboratory testing
using full loads of seasoned hardwoods, and may vary in individual use
depending on how the stove is operated, type and moisture content
of fuels, and other factors. Maximum burn times are achieved under
different operating conditions than are maximum heat outputs.
2. These values are based on operation in building code-conforming

SAFETY, FOLLOW ALL INSTALLATION, OPERATION
AND MAINTENANCE DIRECTIONS. CONTACT LO-

AND INSTALLATION INSPECTION REQUIREMENTS
IN YOUR AREA.
Before you begin the installation, review your plans to

• You have obtained all necessary permits from local au-
thorities.
your installation as safe and for determining that it meets
local and state codes.
Clearance and installation information is printed on the
metal label attached to the rear of the stove. Local authori-
ties generally will accept the label as evidence that, when
the stove is installed according to the information on the
label and in this manual, the installation meets codes and
can be approved.
Codes vary in different areas, however. Before starting
the installation, review your plans with the local building
authority. Your local dealer can provide any additional
information needed.
Important: Failure to follow these installation instructions
may result in a dangerous situation, including a chimney

personal safety.
Chimney Types
Your Dutchwest Convection Heater must be connected
to 1) a chimney complying with the requirements for Type
HT chimneys in the standard for Chimneys, Factory-Built,
Residential Type and Building Heating Appliance, UL 103,
Whatever kind you use, the chimney and chimney connec-
tor must be in good condition and kept clean.
Masonry Chimneys
If you use an existing masonry chimney, it must be inspected
to ensure safe condition before the stove is installed. Your

-
ing. Do not use an unlined chimney. The chimney should
also be examined for cracks, loose mortar, other signs of
deterioration, and blockage. Repair any defects before the
chimney is used with your stove.
Unused openings in an existing masonry chimney must
be sealed with masonry to the thickness of the chimney
wall, and the chimney liner should be repaired. Openings
sealed with pie plates or wallpaper are a hazard and should
be sealed with mortar or refractory cement. In the event
these unused thimbles.
The chimney should be thoroughly cleaned before use.
A newly-built masonry chimney must conform to the
standards of your local building code or, in the absence
of a local code, to a recognized national code. Masonry
chimneys must be lined, either with code-approved ma-
sonry or pre-cast refractory tiles, stainless steel pipe, or
a code-approved, “poured-in-place” liner. The chimney’s
clean-out door must seal tightly.

Prefabricated Chimneys
A prefabricated metal chimney must be one tested and
listed for use with solid-fuel burning appliances.
A horizontal connector run should be inclined 1/4” per foot
(20 mm per meter) from the stove toward the chimney.
The recommended maximum length of a horizontal run
is 3 feet (1 m) and the total length of chimney connector
should be no longer than 8 feet (2.5 m).
Chimney Height
For proper draft and good performance, the chimney

The chimney must also extend at least 3’ (914 mm) above
the highest point where it passes through a roof, and at
least 2’ (610 mm) higher than any portion of a building
within 10’ (3 m). (Fig. 2)

Chimney Size
The Model 2477 heater should be vented into a masonry
of 6” (152 mm).
Chimney liners larger than 8” x 12” (203 x 305 mm) may
promote rapid cooling of smoke and reduction in draft,
especially if they are located outside the home. These
large chimneys may need to be insulated or have their

Guidelines for Installing
the Chimney Connector
The chimney connector is the single-wall pipe, or listed and
approved double-wall pipe that connects the stove to the
chimney. The chimney itself is a masonry or prefabricated
used only to make the connection from the stove to the
chimney.
Do not pass the chimney connector through a combustible
through a closet or similar concealed space. If passage
through a combustible wall is unavoidable, follow the
recommendations in the following section on Wall Pass-
Throughs. Keep the passage as short and direct as pos-
sible, with no more than two 90 degree turns.
Two Types of Connector
You may use either a single-wall steel connector of the
size and gauge described below, or a listed and approved
double-wall connector.
Single-Wall Connector
The single-wall chimney connector should be made of 24
gauge or heavier steel, and must have a minimum internal
diameter of 6” (150 mm) for model 2477.
Install single-wall chimney connector not less than 18” (450
mm) from the ceiling.
In cathedral ceiling installations, extend the prefabricated
chimney downward to within 8 feet (2.5 meters) of the
stove. The entire chimney connector should be exposed
and accessible for inspection and cleaning.
Do not use galvanized chimney connector; it cannot
withstand the high temperatures that can be reached by
smoke and exhaust gases and it may release toxic fumes
under high heat.
