Stardance® Vent-Free 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 appliance should have a main gas valve provided in an
accessible location for turning on or shutting off the gas to
the main burner.
This appliance should only be connected by a qualified
gas technician. Test to confirm manifold pressures as
specified below.
The Stardance 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 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 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 11.0" and minimum inlet supply for adjustment of
11.0" w.c.
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.
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. NEVER test with an open flame. Light the pilot
according to the directions in the Lighting and Operating
section of this manual, before going to the next step.
