Venting System Assembly - Natural Vent

General Information

The Stardance Heater is shipped from the factory as a Direct Vent Heater. It may be converted to a Natural Vent heater by installing the Vermont Castings Model Z31D00 FSDHAG Draft Hood Adapter.

The Stardance Heater is approved for installation as a Natural Vent. CFM Direct Vent pipe could be used directly after the Draft Hood Adapter up to the ceiling, then B-vent pipe must be used. Do not mix types of B-vent pipe; use components from one maker or the other. Follow the vent component maker’s instructions exactly. The heater will also accept standard or enam- elled 7” (178mm) diameter pipe, around the Type B venting, for decorative purposes only. (Fig. 32)

NOTE: The restrictor plate supplied with the stove is not used for Natural Vent applications.

The Stardance stove, when installed as a Natural vent heater, includes a vent safety switch. (Page 36, Figure

66)Operating the stove when it is not connected to a properly installed and maintained venting system, or tampering with or disconnecting the vent safety switch, can result in carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning and pos- sible death.

For U.S. installations: The venting system must con- form with local codes and/or the current National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z22.1.

For Canadian installations: The venting system must conform to the current CSA B149.1 installation code.
