Stardance® Direct Vent/Natural Vent 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 Stardance may be
converted from one gas to another using the appropriate
Fuel Conversion Kit listed on Page 46.
CAUTION
This appliance should only be connected
by a qualified gas technician. Test to con-
firm manifold pressures as specified be-
low.
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 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" propane gas
supply line with an input of 28,000 BTUs at a mani-
fold 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 accor-
dance 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, be-
fore going to the next step.

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
10.0" and minimum inlet supply for adjustment of 11.0"
w.c.
