6. Install the ceiling support cathedral ceiling support
box assembly, as appropriate.
7. Determine the distance from the appliance outlet to
a point just above [approximately 12” (305 mm) to 24”
(610 mm)] either the cathedral ceiling support box or
the ceiling support plate and assemble lengths of pipe
to satisfy this distance. Do not attach assembly to appli-
ance.
8. Loosely position the support collar around the as-
sembled lengths (flared end down).
9. From above, lower the assembled pipe sections
down through the cathedral ceiling box or ceiling sup-
port plate and attach it to the appliance adapter. The
support collar should then be adjusted so that when
the assembled lengths of pipe are attached to the ap-
pliance, it rests on the bottom of the cathedral ceiling
support box on top of the ceiling support plate.
10. Tighten the tabs of the collar. Secure the sup-
port collar by inserting three (3) #8 x 1/4” sheet metal
screws through the support collar and the outer wall of
the pipe.
NOTE: If the cathedral ceiling support box assembly is
being used, it may be necessary to temporarily connect
the assembled pipe to the appliance. Determine and
mark the location of where the support collar will be at-
tached to the pipe. Disconnect and remove assembled
pipe. Attach the support collar per Step 10 (where
marked) and reinstall assembly. This is due to limited
space within the cathedral ceiling support box. Install
any required offset supports.
11. Add lengths of pipe and firestop as necessary
until assembly extends to a point above the roof which
complies with local code requirements for minimum ter-
mination height and with the appliance manufacturer’s
installation instructions. (Fig. 44) NOTE: Whenever DIRECT-TEMP penetrates through a
ceiling, a floor or a wall, it must be firestopped.
12. Using a level, make sure the system is perfectly
vertical.
13. Slide the flashing, suitable for the roof pitch, down
over the pipe protruding through the roof. Recheck
orientation and use a silicone sealant around and under
the perimeter of the flashing where it is in contact with
the roof. Secure the flashing with roofing nails. Finish
roofing around the pipe, covering the sides and upper
ares of the flashing base with roofing material. How-
ever, be sure the lower unnailed portion of the base
covers the roofing material.
14. Position the storm collar around the pipe and slide
down until it is in contact with the flashing. Secure the
storm collar by inserting the two (2) tabs into the raised
slots and fold tabs back. Seal the area between the
storm collar and the vent pipe with a silicone sealant to
prevent rain infiltration.
15. Install the vertical termination (VC) by inserting it
down into the top most section of pipe until it is fully
seated. Depress lock tab to secure the cap to the pipe.
NOTE: In high wind areas, it is recommended to screw
termination to the pipe with two (2) #8 x 1/4” sheet
metal screws. The screws should be approximately 3/4”
from the bottom of the vertical termination’s galvanized
collar.

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
Z31B00 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 enamelled 7”
(178mm) diameter pipe, around the Type B venting, for
decorative purposes only. (Fig. 45)
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 41, Figure
81) 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.
