Stardance Direct Vent/Natural Vent Gas Heater
20012734
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 CSA-B149.1
installation code.
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 SHUT-OFF 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 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
The switch assembly parts are found in the parts bag.
1. Attach switch assembly to left rear side of stove
shroud (when facing shroud) using two screws and
existing holes in shroud. (Fig. 50)
2. Run wires down back of stove, under bottom of rear
shroud to valve.
3. Attach wires to valve terminals. (Fig. 51)
