Stardance Direct Vent/Natural Vent Gas Heater
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 46.
CAUTION
This appliance should only be connected 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 minimum inlet sup- ply for adjustment 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 28,000 BTUs at a manifold pressure of 10.0” and minimum inlet supply for adjustment 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 your local authority.
In Canada; consult the local authority and
Always check for gas leaks with a mild soap and water solution. Do not use an open flame for leak testing.
Light the pilot according to the directions on Page 31, before going to the next step.
Burner Information
The appliance must only use the gas specified on the rating plate, unless converted using a Vermont Castings Fuel Conversion Kit. To convert from Natural Gas to LP use Kit #20012735 or 20012904. To convert from LP to Natural Gas use Kit #20012903 or 20012905. Refer to
Page 46 for correct conversion kit.
Conversion instructions are provided with each kit and beginning on Page 37 in this manual.
THIS APPLIANCE SHOULD BE CONNECTED TO THE GAS SUPPLY ONLY BY A QUALIFIED GAS SERVICE TECHNICIAN.
THERE MUST BE A GAS
In order to connect Natural Gas, use a fitting with 3/8” NPT nipple on the valve side and 1/2” natural gas sup- ply line with an input of 28,000 BTUs at a manifold pres- sure of 3.5” and minimum inlet supply for adjustment 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” propane gas supply line with an input of 28,000 BTUs at a manifold pressure of 10.0” and minimum inlet supply for adjust- ment of 11.0” w.c.
Install ON/OFF Switch
