Certified to:
ANSI Z21.88-2005 / CSA Z2.33-2005
Vented Gas Fireplace Heaters
The installation must conform with local codes or, in the absence of local codes, with the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 - latest edition. (EXCEPTION: Do not derate this appliance for altitude. Maintain the manifold pressure at 3.5” w.c. for Natural Gas and 10” w.c. for Propane.)
High Elevations
Input ratings are shown in BTU per hour and are certified without deration for elevations up to 4,500 feet (1,370m) above sea level.
For elevations above 4,500 feet (1,370m) in USA, installations must be in accordance with the current ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 and/or local codes having jurisdiction.
In Canada, please consult provincial and/or local authorities having jurisdiction for installations at elevations above 4,500 feet (1,370m).
WARNING: Improper installation, adjustment, alteration, service or maintenance can cause injury or property damage. Refer to this manual for correct installation and operational procedures. For assistance or additional information consult a qualified installer, service agency, or the gas supplier.
Venting Requirements and Options
The Stardance must be properly connected to a listed 4” (102 mm) Type B venting system or to an approved Class A masonry or factory-built chimney system. In Canada, a complete relining of Class A chimney systems is required.
The Stardance Natural Vent stove will accept decorative 6” (152 mm) stove pipe around the Type B venting system, for aesthetic purposes.
Complete Type B vent systems are available from a number of manufacturers, and your dealer can usually supply one. Pipe sections from different makers are not interchangeable; do not mix pipe or vent sections from different makers. Follow the vent system manufacturer’s instructions.
The vent system should conform to the specifications of the National Fuel Gas Code, latest edition.
If connecting to a Class A chimney system, use 4” (102 mm) single wall or 4” Type B vent connector. Single wall vent connector requires a minimum 6” (152 mm) clearance to combustible surfaces.
Exterior chimneys may be subject to flow reversal or condensation. To lessen these conditions, enclose Type B vents in an insulated chase, or reline exterior Class A chimneys.
An approved pass-through device is always required, whether the vent system passes through a wall or
a ceiling. Use a pass-through device from the same maker who supplies the venting system.
Venting terminals shall not be recessed into a wall or siding.
Vent Layout and Height Requirements
Venting for a Stardance can rise vertically through the home, or can pass through an exterior wall and rise along the outside of the home. Some codes require that a Type B vent system rising on the outside of the home be enclosed in a chase. Check your local codes for requirements.
The minimum vent system height for the Stardance Natural Vent Stove is 8’ (2.43 m), (Fig. 7) measured from the top of the stove. To determine the minimum height the vent system must extend through or past the roof, refer to the 1993 edition of the National Fuel Gas Code.
66 |
20007067 |
Passing Through a
Combustible Wall or Ceiling
An approved pass-through device is always required when a vent passes through a combustible wall or ceiling. Check with the maker of the vent system for the correct listed devices that are available. A listed passthrough device is required whether or not the installation includes decorative pipe around the Type B venting system. NOTE: It is essential to seal between the ceiling support (sometimes called a ‘firestop spacer’) and the decorative pipe, if installed, with a high-temperature silicone sealant. (Fig. 6)
Complete the venting system installation according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

Install the Optional Fan
WARNING
This appliance is equipped with a three-prong (grounded) plug for your protection against shock hazard and should be plugged directly into a properly grounded three-prong receptacle. Do not cut or remove the grounding prong from this plug.
If you are installing the optional convection Fan Kit #2767 (FK26), continue here. If you are not installing a fan kit, proceed to Venting System Assembly.
1.The fan kit includes a blower assembly and a rheostat assembly, connected by a cable. The blower assembly mounts to the bottom rear of the stove, and the rheostat mounts to the left side of the valve. The assembly includes a ‘snapstat’ which automatically turns the fan ON (or OFF) above (or below) approximately 109°F. The rheostat also provides a range of fan speed settings from Off (which overrides the snapstat function) to High. Unpack and inspect the blower assembly. Confirm that the fan spins freely.
2.Remove the rear shroud by loosening the two (2) bolts at the bottom left and right side of the shroud. Slide shroud straight up, rotate the bottom out and away from stove and pull shroud out.
3.Attach the fan assembly to the fan bracket provided in the log box. Use #10 sheet metal screws provided in fan kit. Do not remove finger guard screws. (Fig.

Venting System Assembly
Adjust the leg levelers as needed. They should not extend any further from the leg than necessary.
The venting collar is on the sheet metal draft hood/heat exchanger assembly, over the firebox. Use a B-vent adapter, from the same maker as the rest of the B-vent components, to join the first section of venting to the draft hood.
The SNV30 stove includes a spill switch. Operating this stove when not connected to a properly installed and maintained venting system, or tampering with or disconnecting the spill switch, can result in carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning and possible death.
The stove includes a bracket for installing decorative 6” (152mm) round stove pipe around the B-vent, for appearance purposes only. The decorative pipe need not be concentric with the vent pipe.
If the installation includes decorative stove pipe around the venting system, make a cardboard template of the decorative pipe by tracing its circumference. Put this template in the flue recess in the stove top. Position the template to fit well against the front of the recess. (Fig. 14) Use this template to locate the bracket to hold the decorative pipe. Depending on spacing, the bracket may fit inside the decorative pipe without interfering with the vent system. Fasten the bracket to the draft hood/heat exchanger assembly with a sheet metal screw.

Insert the B-vent adapter into the flue collar and drill 1/8” (3mm) pilot holes through both the stove’s collar and the adapter. Attach the adapter to the flue collar with sheet metal screws. (Fig. 15)
Attach the first section of venting to the B-vent adapter. Depending on the length of the individual venting sections and the lengths of the decorative pipe, 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. The decorative pipe need not be fastened to the locating bracket on the stove. If the layout includes a slip section, this should be the last section of pipe visible in the room at the ceiling. Refer to Page 7, Figure 6
for details on joining the decorative pipe at the ceiling.

Paint Option for Enamelled Stoves
If you wish to match the decorative or vent pipe to the color of the stove, paint the pipe before installation. Use only a high-temperature paint. Paint only in a well-venti- lated area. Mask the surroundings to prevent overspray. Apply the paint lightly; two light coats will result in a better finish than a single heavy coat. Let the paint dry thoroughly before handling painted parts.
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 appropriate Fuel Conversion Kit listed on Page 24.
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 individual 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 a minimum inlet supply pressure 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 26,000 BTUs at a manifold pressure of 10.0” and a minimum inlet supply pressure of 11.0” w.c.
In the U.S.; Gas connection should be made in accordance with current National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54. Since some municipalities have additional local codes, be sure to consult you local authority.
In Canada; consult the local authority and CSA-B149.1 installation code.
Connect the gas supply and test for leaks. Use a 50/50 solution of liquid soap and water to test for leaks at gas fittings and joints. Apply water/soap solution with brush only - do not over apply. NEVER test with an open flame. Light the pilot according to the directions on Page 14, before going to the next step.
