WARNING: Improper installation, adjustment,
alteration, service or maintenance can cause injury or property damage. Refer to this manual for
correct installation and operational procedures.
For assistance or additional information consult
a qualified installer, service agency, or the gas
supplier.
Venting Requirements and Options
The Dutchwest must be properly connected to a listed
4” (102 mm) Type B venting system or to an approved
Class A masonry or factory-built chimney system. In
Canada, a complete relining of Class A chimney systems is required.
The Dutchwest Natural Vent stove will accept decorative 6” (150mm) stove pipe around the Type B venting
system, for aesthetic purposes.
Complete Type B vent systems are available from a
number of manufacturers, and your dealer can usually
supply one. Pipe sections from different makers are not
interchangeable; do not mix pipe or vent sections from
different makers. Follow the vent system manufacturer’s instructions.
The vent system should conform to the specifications of
the National Fuel Gas Code, latest edition.
If connecting to a Class A chimney system, use 4” (102
mm) single wall or 4” Type B vent connector. Single wall
vent connector requires a minimum 6” (152 mm) clearance to combustible surfaces.
Exterior chimneys may be subject to flow reversal or
condensation. To lessen these conditions, enclose Type
B vents in an insulated chase, or reline exterior Class A
chimneys.
An approved pass-through device is always required,
whether the vent system passes through a wall or
a ceiling. Use a pass-through device from the same
maker who supplies the venting system.
Venting terminals shall not be recessed into a wall or
siding.
Vent Layout and Height Requirements
Venting for a Dutchwest can rise vertically through the
home, or can pass through an exterior wall and rise
along the outside of the home. Some codes require that
a Type B vent system rising on the outside of the home
be enclosed in a chase. Check your local codes for
requirements.
The minimum vent system height for the Dutchwest
Natural Vent Stove is 8’ (2.43 m), (Fig. 7) measured
from the top of the stove. To determine the minimum
height the vent system must extend through or past the
roof, refer to the 1993 edition of the National Fuel Gas
Code.

Install the Optional Fan
1. The fan kit includes a blower assembly and a rheostat assembly, connected by a cable. The blower assembly mounts to the bottom rear of the stove, and
the rheostat mounts to the left side of the valve. The
assembly includes a ‘snapstat’ which automatically
turns the fan ON (or OFF) above (or below) approximately 109°F. The rheostat also provides a range
of fan speed settings from Off (which overrides the
snapstat function) to High. Unpack and inspect the
blower assembly. Confirm that the fan spins freely.
2. Attach the fan assembly to the bracket provided in
the log box. Use #10 sheet metal screws provided
with fan kit. Do not remove finger guard screws.

Dutchwest Natural Vent Gas Heater
Venting System Assembly
The venting collar is on the sheet metal draft hood/heat
exchanger assembly, over the firebox. Use a B-vent
adapter, from the same maker as the rest of the B-vent
components, to join the first section of venting to the
draft hood.
The stove includes a spill switch. Operating this stove
when not connected to a properly installed and maintained venting system, or tampering with or disconnecting the spill switch, can result in carbon monoxide (CO)
poisoning and possible death.
The stove includes a bracket for installing decorative 6”
(150mm) round stove pipe around the B-vent, for appearance purposes only. The decorative pipe need not
be concentric with the vent pipe.
If the installation includes decorative stove pipe around
the venting system, make a cardboard template of the
decorative pipe by tracing its circumference. Put this
template in the flue recess in the stove top. Position the
template to fit well against the front of the recess. (Fig.
16) Use this template to locate the bracket to hold the
decorative pipe. Depending on spacing, the bracket
may fit inside the decorative pipe without interfering
with the vent system. Fasten the bracket to the draft
hood/heat exchanger assembly with a sheet metal
screw.
