1. About a Direct Draft Propane Heater

This direct vent propane heater fireplace is a clean burning low pressure

propane appliance for use on board small marine vessels and many other

different applications.

These heaters are equipped with a stainless double walled vent pipe and

deckfitting/ exhaust cap. Fresh air is pulled from outside, through the outer

pipe into the combustion chamber while exhaust gas leaves the vessel

through the inner pipe. The air from inside the cabin is not being used for

combustion so a fresh air vent is not needed. Since, this unit has an isolated

combustion, the exhaust gases are being taken out via the chimney so no

moisture is being created.

These heaters are equipped with a CGA/AGA approved safety gas valves. If

the flame should ever be extinguished the gas will be shut-off automatically.

Manual ignition involves lighting the heater with a long barbeque lighter

with the door open and therefore avoids any initial build up of unburned gas.

The installation of a gas detector is recommended for all LPG appliances.

*NOTE: When using the P12000 heater on high setting, the fan may have to

be used to draw out the heat from the chimney pipe to keep it from sooting

the window.

2. Important Notes

Here are some important notes to remember when installing a Dickinson

direct draft propane heater:

•Mounting & location, 12v power hook-up, minimum 20” and a

maximum 56” of chimney, the location of hole for the chimney & the

fuel supply.

•The fittings needed to connect to your fuel supply.

•Install of a separate low pressure regulator (11” WC).

3. Installing your Heater

Location

When installing your new propane heater, keep in mind the location of the

heater and where it will maximize the heating capability. This propane

heater is equipped with a 12v fan that will blow hot air from the top of the

heater down onto the floor.

This increases heating efficiency and provides good circulation of hot air.

Mounting the heater lower will allow for more efficient circulation of heat in

the cabin. Plan your heaters location prior to installing to ensure the location

chosen will fit the specifications and safety clearances.

Safety Clearances: Above- 20”, Front- 18”, Sides- 2”, Below- 2”

Combustible material such as the deck/ceiling or walls that are closer to the

heater then the specified safety clearances must be insulated

with insulation

or millboard with a metal liner, a .5” standoff is best for air movement

behind. Another alternative is using insulation or millboard and ceramic tile.

Mounting

Secure the heater mounting plate directly onto the mounting surface. No

additional insulation is required. Use appropriate fasteners for mounting.

Chimney Pipe

The stainless double walled flue pipe that is included with the heater is 28”

(71cm) long. Four springs are between the inside and outside pipe to ensure

that an even air space is provided. It is important that two springs be located

at any bend in order to prevent the pipes from touching.

Extensions are available in 10” (25.4cm) part# 19-005 and 28” (71cm) part#

19-000. The maximum total length of the flue exhaust pipe can be 56” only.

Locate your heater so the distance between the heater and the pipe conform

to the available pipe lengths.

We do not recommend you cut the pipe but the pipe can be cut with a fine

hacksaw blade to the required length. To do so, twist the pipe to tighten the

pipes flexibility, then tape the end of the pipe and install a hose clamp on the

side of the pipe that you are keeping. This is so the clamp is left on the pipe

and only removed after or during installing. Cut with fine tooth hack saw

blade then use a round file to remove the large burrs in the inside of the pipe.

Use caution as the flexible pipe can be easily damaged.

Locate and run the vent pipe such that no low points occur where water or

debris can accumulate and thus block the exhaust or intake. The direct vent

chimney is flexible and can be bent to provide any angle of offset. The

chimney pipe can also exit horizontally.

If you want a horizontal exit with the chimney pipe, the heater will work

satisfactory if the full length of the pipe supplied (28” / 71 cm) is used to

achieve the 90 degree angle. When making a bend in the chimney pipe,

make the bend gradual so you don’t have hot spots in the pipe when

operating. When bending the pipe, don’t have the bend go downwards as

this will affect the draft. See diagram below. Use caution with bending the

pipe to not collapse or damage it. If the pipe needs to be cut, use extra

caution so the pipe doesn’t unravel.

Deckfitting and Exhaust Cap

Step - 1 Measure, cut or drill a 3" hole through the deck, ceiling or

wall where the exhaust cap will be located.

Step - 2 Make sure the sealing gasket is installed under the above

deck-flange before screwing down the fitting. Rotate the

pipe so that it is not visible. Holding the deck flange firmly

in position and secure with the 6 stainless screws supplied.

Step - 3 Attach the dress ring on the inside, underneath the fitting

with the 4 stainless screws supplied. (Make sure that the

opening lines up with the underside of the deckfiting or the

pipe will not fit correctly).

Step - 4 Install the flexible pipe on the heater. It is very important

that the small pipe fit tightly against the flue collar on the

heater (even adding some muffler tape or tin foil to fill in

any gaps of the pipe to ensure an airtight connection, the cap

and any other connections are not as important.

Step - 5 Make whatever bends are necessary in the flexible pipe and

push into the deckfitting.

Step - 6 Attach the back mounting plate and secure the heater in

position.

WARNING: Do not install the external flue cap within 20 inches (500mm)

of a refueling fitting or fuel tank vent.

NOTE: If the cap is positioned close to an edge where it can get an upward

wind then it may give some turbulence to the air intake. If this position is in

the best spot then consider the cap guard part# 19-080 that has a shield to

block the upward winds.

4. Connecting the Propane Fuel

This is a low pressure propane appliance. Do not use high pressure propane.

The heater only operates on low pressure propane (11’ WC or 27.4 mbars)

and should have a low pressure regulator (part# 19-151) installed within the

fuel line. The propane gas connection can either come from an already

installed propane system, a single 10 or 20 lbs tank or a 1 lb disposable

bottle. The propane tank should always face upwards. To run the fuel to the

unit, copper tubing or a rubber approved hose can be used. The size of the

fuel line should be no smaller then 3/8” in diameter. When running the fuel

line, make sure the ends are sealed so no debris can get inside the line. This

can block the gas coming through the heater small orifice. Make sure to

blow through the fuel line before connecting.

NOTE: Each low pressure propane appliance should have its own low

pressure regulator and fuel supply line as shown on the propane locker

diagram on pg. 9.

Reasons for having a separate low pressure regulator for each appliance:

1. The ABYC Standards state- 1.7.2 – Each appliance shall be served by a

separate low pressure regulator and supply line that shall originate inside the

cylinder locker. We recommend you follow the ABYC standard.

2. The regulator only serves a very low pressure of gas, through a small 3/8”

gas line, and depending on the distance, 1 regulator for 2 appliances

may starve the burners of gas for 1 appliance.

3. Some older appliances do not have thermocouples on the burners, and if the

gas valve on that appliance was left in the “on” position, gas would leak while

using the heater or any other appliance and could result in a serious explosion.

The diagram on pg. 9 is to illustrate a typical installation only and should not

be used to illustrate any particular regulatory code, insurance requirement or

to override manufacturer’s instructions on any fittings or components.

Install your propane system in accordance to local, national or industry

specific regulations. Retain the installation and owner’s manual for your gas

components such as the solenoid and regulator. Installation requirements for

some of these components vary by manufacturer. Install components as

directed by manufacturer’s instructions.

-After the gas connection is hooked-up, test all gas lines and

connections for leaks with a soap solution. Test all lines and fittings

before the heater is lit for the first time.

Propane Locker Caution Plate Installation

Install your propane locker CAUTION plate on or inside your propane

locker for important safety reminders.

Electrical 12v Fan

The fan inside the heater is 12V DC .17 amps and the power supply must be

brought to the wire connectors of the fans ON/OFF switch through the

grommet installed at the bottom of the heater. The fan installed in this

heater is CE approved and EM compliant for FCC and CSA regulations. The

fan must have an inline fuse rated at 2 amps.

If applicable, this appliance must be electrically grounded in accordance

with local codes or in absence of local codes, with the National Electrical

Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, or the Canadian Electrical Code, CSA C22.21.

NOTE: Since this fan has such low amperage, when turning on, turn to the

high setting first to get the fan blades moving, then turn it down to low if

desired.
