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

structurethatenclosestheue.Chimneyconnectorsareused

onlytomaketheconnectionfromthestovetothechimney.

Do not pass the chimney connector through a combustible

wall,oor,orceiling,throughanatticorroofspace,or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possible,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.

Chimney Size

The Model 2477 heater should be vented into a masonry

chimneywithasquareuewithnominaluesizeof8”x8”

(203x203mm),orarounduewithnominaluesize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uesrelined

for proper stove performance.

Accessoriestohelpmaketheconnectionbetweenstainless

steel chimney liners and the stove are available through your

local dealer.

DO NOT CONNECT THIS UNIT TO A CHIMNEY FLUE

SERVING ANOTHER APPLIANCE.

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should

extendatleast16’(5m)abovetheuecollarofthestove.

Thechimneymustalsoextendatleast3’(914mm)above

thewallpass-throughsectionthatfollows.

The opening through the chimney wall to the flue (the

“breech”)mustbelinedwitheitheraceramicormetalcylinder,

calledthe“thimble”, which issecurely cemented inplace.

(Figure7)Mostchimneybreechesincorporatethimbles,but

Aspecialpiececalledthe“thimblesleeve,”slightlysmaller

indiameterthanthestandardconnectorandmostthimbles,

will ease the removal of the chimney connector system for

inspection and cleaning. Thimble sleeves should be available

from your local dealer.

Toinstallathimblesleeve,slideitintothebreechuntilitis

ushwiththeinneruewall.Don’textenditintotheactual

uepassage,asthatcouldinterferewiththedraft.

Thethimblesleeveshouldprotrude1-2"(25-50mm)intothe

room.Use furnacecement andthin gasketingto sealthe

sleeve in place in the thimble. Secure the chimney connector

to the outer end of the sleeve with sheet metal screws.

Fireplace Installations - Above the Fireplace

In this installation, the chimney connector rises from the

stove,turnsninetydegrees,andgoesbackintothereplace

chimney.Thelinerofthereplacechimneyshouldextendat

least to the point at which the chimney connector enters the

chimney. Follow all the guidelines for installing a chimney

connector into a freestanding masonry chimney, and pay

special attention to these additional points:

• Checkthestoveand chimney connector clearancesto

combustible mantel or trim materials. Use the necessary

combinationofmantel,trim,andconnectorheatshields

to provide the required clearances. (Figure 8)

• Double-checkconnectorclearancefromtheceiling.

• The replace damper must be closed and sealed to

Figure 15 - Minimum clearances for fireplace installation.

Recommended clearances must be maintained between stove and

the surrounding combustible components.

Clearances Keep the Stove a Safe Distance From

Surrounding Materials

Both a stove and its chimney connector radiate heat in all

directions when operating. A safe installation requires that

adequate clearance be maintained between the stove and

nearby combustible materials to ensure that such materials

do not overheat.

Clearance is the distance between either your stove or

chimneyconnector,andnearbywalls,oors,theceiling,and

anyotherxedcombustiblesurface.Keepfurnishingsand

othercombustiblematerialsawayfromthestoveaswell.In

general,adistanceof48"(1220mm)mustbemaintained

between the stove and moveable combustible items such as

dryingclothes,furniture,newspapers,rewood,etc.Keeping

those clearance areas empty assures that nearby surfaces

and objects will not overheat.

Safe Ways to Reduce Clearances

Yourstove has specic clearance requirements that have

been established through careful research and testing to UL

andULCstandards.

Clearancerequirementshavebeenestablishedtomeetevery

installationpossibility,andtheyinvolvethecombinationof

basic variables:

• When the stove has no listed heat shield

• When the stove has a listed heat shield

• When the wall has no heat shield

• When the wall has a heat shield

• Whenthestovehasadouble-wallchimneyconnector

• Whenthestovehasasingle-wallconnectorwithheat

shields,orwithoutheatshields

In general, the greatest clearance is required when you

locate a stove with no heat shield near a wall with no heat

shield. The least clearance is required when both the stove

and the wall have heat shields. Reducing a stove clearance

may require a listed heat shield on the chimney connector

aswell,oradouble-wallconnector.

Clearancesmaybereducedonlybymeansapprovedbythe

regulatory authority and in accordance with the clearances

listed in this manual. The charts and sample installations

that follow list all the clearances required for the various

installationcongurationsofDutchwestConvectionHeaters.

Successful Wood Burning

Woodburning is often said to be more of an art than a science.

You’lleasilymastertheartifyoustartbyusinggood,dry

fuel and by understanding how the stove’s air supply system

operates.

Burn Only High-Quality Fuel

Your heater is designed to burn natural wood only. Do not

burnotherfuels.Neverburnpressure-treatedwood,painted

orstainedwood,orglossynewsprint.

Highecienciesandlowemissionsareonlypossiblewhen

burningair-dried, seasoned woods.Avoidburning “green”

wood that has not been properly seasoned.

Thebest hardwood fuelsinclude oak, maple, beech, ash,

andhickorythathasbeensplit,stacked,andair-driedoutside

undercoverforatleastoneyear.Ifhardwoodisnotavailable,

tamarack,yellowpine,whitepine,Easternredcedar,r,and

redwood are softwoods that are commonly burned. They too

should be properly dried. The length of the wood should be

thesameasthatspeciedforyour

particular stove. Avoid using wood

that has been dried more than

twoyears.Oftengrayincolor,this

woodburnsveryquickly,resulting

in short burn time and diminished

stove performance. If you must

burnit,mixitinwithgreenerwood

to slow the burn.

Store your rewood under cover

tokeepitdry.Evenforshort-term

storage,keepwoodoutsideofthe

heater’s installation clearances

and outside of the space around

the heater required for refueling

and ash removal.

Damper Function

The Damper is operated by moving the handle on the upper

leftsideofthestove.(Figure31)Ithastwopositions:OPEN,

to start the re and load fuel, and CLOSED, for greatest

eciency and heat. When the damper is closed, exhaust

gases travel through a secondary combustion chamber at

therearofthestovebeforeowingintothechimney.

Use the door insert handle to rotate the damper handle. Turn

it counterclockwise to open the damper and clockwise to

close it. You will feel resistance as the damper mechanism

engagesintotheopen(counterclockwise)position.

The stove damper must be open when you start a re,

load fuel, or before you open either door for any reason.

Load Doors

A Side Loading Door allows the easiest loading of wood

logs. The Front Door opens for adding an occasional log

tothere.Alwaysbesuretoopenthestovedamperbefore

opening either door.
