Paint Option for Enamelled Stoves

Stardance Natural Vent Gas Heater

Insert the B-vent adapter into the ﬂue collar and drill 1/8” (3mm) pilot holes through both the stove’s collar and the adapter. Attach the adapter to the ﬂue collar with sheet metal screws. (Fig. 15)

Attach the ﬁrst section of venting to the B-vent adapter. Depending on the length of the individual venting sections and the lengths of the decorative pipe, you may need to slip the decorative pipe over the venting sections before attaching upper sections to lower ones. The sections of decorative pipe should be oriented with their seams (if any) toward the wall; sections usually do not need to be fastened at each joint, other than slip sections. The decorative pipe need not be fastened to the locating bracket on the stove. If the layout includes a slip section, this should be the last section of pipe vis- ible in the room at the ceiling. Refer to Page 7, Figure 6

for details on joining the decorative pipe at the ceiling.

If you wish to match the decorative or vent pipe to the color of the stove, paint the pipe before installation. Use only a high-temperature paint. Paint only in a well-venti- lated area. Mask the surroundings to prevent overspray. Apply the paint lightly; two light coats will result in a better ﬁnish than a single heavy coat. Let the paint dry thoroughly before handling painted parts.

Connect the Gas Supply Line

Check the Rating Plate attached by a steel cable to the ﬁrebox, to conﬁrm that you have the appropriate ﬁrebox for the type of fuel to be used. The Stardance may be converted from one gas to another using the appropri- ate Fuel Conversion Kit listed on Page 24.

CAUTION

This appliance should only be connect- ed by a qualiﬁed gas technician. Test to conﬁrm manifold pressures as speciﬁed

below.

The Stardance Heater and its individual shutoff valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping during any pressure testing of that system at test pressures in excess of 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa).

The Stardance Heater must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its indi- vidual manual shutoff valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressure equal to or less than 1/2 psig.

There must be a gas shutoff between the stove and the supply.

In order to connect Natural Gas, use a ﬁtting with 3/8” NPT nipple on the valve side and 1/2” natural gas supply line with an input of 28,000 BTUs at a manifold pressure of 3.5” and a minimum inlet supply pressure of 5.5” w.c.

In order to connect Propane, use a ﬁtting with 3/8” NPT nipple on the valve side and 1/2” pro- pane gas supply line with an input of 26,000 BTUs at a manifold pressure of 10.0” and a mini- mum inlet supply pressure of 11.0” w.c.

In the U.S.; Gas connection should be made in ac- cordance with current National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54. Since some municipalities have additional local codes, be sure to consult you local authority.

In Canada; consult the local authority and CSA-B149.1 installation code.

Connect the gas supply and test for leaks. Use a 50/50 solution of liquid soap and water to test for leaks at gas ﬁttings and joints. Apply water/soap solution with brush only - do not over apply. NEVER test with an open ﬂame. Light the pilot according to the directions on Page 14, before going to the next step.
