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 appropri-
ate Fuel Conversion Kit listed on Page 47.
This appliance should only be connect-
ed by a qualified gas technician. Test to
confirm manifold pressures as specified
below.
The Stardance Heaters and the individual shut-
off valves 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 Heaters must be isolated from the
gas supply piping system by closing the indi-
vidual 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 a minimum input
of 21,000 BTUs at a 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” pro-
pane gas supply line with a minimum input of
21,000 BTUs at a and minimum inlet pressure of
11.0” w.c.
CAUTION
In the U.S.: Gas connection should be made in ac-
cordance 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.
Connect the gas supply and test for leaks. Use a mild
soap and water solution applied with a brush no larger
than 1” (25 mm). Never apply soap and water solution
with a spray bottle. Do not use an open flame for leak
testing.
Burner Information
The appliance must only use the gas specified on the
