Clearance Requirements
Minimum Clearances to
Combustible Materials
Measure side clearances as shown in Figures 2
through 5 from the outer edge of the cast iron stove top.
Measure rear clearances from the outermost surface of
the sheet metal rear skirt.
The Stardance heater is approved for installation into
an alcove constructed of combustible materials to the
dimensions and clearances shown on the next page.
The same clearances apply in a standard parallel instal-
lation.

Hearth Requirements
The Stardance Heater must be installed on rigid floor-
ing. When the heater is installed directly on any com-
bustible surface other than wood flooring, a metal or
wood panel extending the full width and depth of the
unit must be used as the hearth. There are no other
hearth requirements.
WARNING:
• Always maintain required clearances
(air spaces) to nearby combustibles
to prevent fire hazard. Do not fill air
spaces with insulation. All venting compo-
nents must maintain a 1” (25 mm) clearance to
combustible materials. Maintain a 6” (152 mm)
clearance when using single wall pipe.
• The gas appliance and vent system must be
vented directly to the outside of the building
and never be attached to a chimney serving a
separate solid fuel or gas-burning appliance.
• Refer to the manufacturer’s instructions in-
cluded with the venting system for complete
installation procedures.
