Dutchwest Natural Vent Gas Heater

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 main- tained venting system, or tampering with or disconnect- ing 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 ap- pearance 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.
