Stardance Direct Vent/Natural Vent Gas Heater

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.

Install the Vent Pipe

Apply a bead of sealant around bottom end of inner starter pipe (found in bag with logset) and attach to stove. Apply a bead of sealant around top of inner starter pipe and install the Z31B00 FSDHAG Draft Hood according to Draft Hood instructions. (Fig. 45)

Attach the first section of venting to the draft hood. De- pending on the length of the individual venting sections and the lengths of the decorative pipe (if installed), 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. If the layout includes a slip section, this should be the last section of pipe visible in the room, at the ceiling. Complete the venting according to the vent maker’s instructions.
