Venting System Assembly - Natural Vent - Vermont Castings SDDVTCB Homeowner's Installation And Operating Manual

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 appliance.
8. Loosely position the support collar around the assem-
bled lengths (flared end down).
9. From above, lower the assembled pipe sections down
through the cathedral ceiling box or ceiling support plate
and attach it to the appliance adapter. The support col-
lar should then be adjusted so that when the assembled
lengths of pipe are attached to the appliance, 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 support col-
lar 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 attached
to the pipe. Disconnect and remove assembled pipe. At-
tach 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 com-
plies with local code requirements for minimum termina-
tion height and with the appliance manufacturer's installa-
tion instructions. (Fig. 44)

Stardance® Direct Vent/Natural Vent Gas Heater
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 verti-
cal.
13. Slide the flashing, suitable for the roof pitch, down
over the pipe protruding through the roof. Recheck ori-
entation 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 roof-
ing around the pipe, covering the sides and upper ares of
the flashing base with roofing material. However, 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 seat-
ed. Depress lock tab to secure the cap to the pipe. NOTE:
In high wind areas, it is recommended to screw termina-
tion 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. Vermont Castings Group 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 possible death.
