Venting System Assembly - Natural Vent - Vermont Castings SDDVTCSBDSB Installation And Operating Instructions Manual

(610 mm)] either the cathedral ceiling support box or the
ceiling support plate and assemble lengths of pipe to sat-
isfy this distance. Do not attach assembly to appliance.
8. Loosely position the support collar around the assembled
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 be-
ing 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. Attach the
support collar per Step 10 (where marked) and reinstall as-
sembly. This is due to limited space within the cathedral ceil-
ing support box. Install any required offset supports.
11. Add lengths of pipe and firestop as necessary until as-
sembly extends to a point above the roof which complies
with local code requirements for minimum termination
height and with the appliance manufacturer's installation
instructions. (Figure 44)
NOTE: Whenever DIRECT-TEMP penetrates through a ceil-
ing, a floor or a wall, it must be firestopped.
12. Using a level, make sure the system is perfectly vertical.

13. Slide the flashing, suitable for the roof pitch, down over
the pipe protruding through the roof. Recheck orienta-
tion 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 col-
lar 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 seated.
Depress lock tab to secure the cap to the pipe. NOTE:
In high wind areas, it is recommended to screw termi-
nation 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. (Figure 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.
