Vertical Termination - Direct Vent ONLY
A vertical vent system must terminate no less than 8’
(2.44 m) and no more than 40’ (12 m) above the appli-
ance ue collar. A restrictor plate (supplied) must be used
where specied in all vertically terminated vent systems.
(Figure 8) NOTE: The restrictor plate supplied with
the vertical termination should be discarded. Adjust
the restrictor plate according to recommendations in
Figure 10. A vertically terminated vent system must also
conform to the following criteria:
• No more than three 90° elbows may be used.
• Two 45° elbows may be substituted for one 90° elbow.
No more than six elbows may be used.
• Vent must rise a minimum of 2 feet before offset is
used.

Restrictor Plate Adjustment
for Extended Pipe Runs
The Stardance stove is shipped with a restrictor plate in
the Parts Bag. Adjustments can be made by loosening the
adjustment screw to allow the restrictor plate to slide up or
down. (Figure 9) A guide for usage is shown in Figure 10.
NOTE: Some installations may require some adjustment
by the installer for optimum ame appearance. Optimum
ame appearance is a ame that is not subject to tall, dirty
yellow ames producing soot or ames lifting off of the
ember bed ports.
Restrictor Plate Adjustment
1. Remove the logs if installed.
2. Remove the adjustment screw in the back wall of the
rebox.
3. Install restrictor plate as shown in Figure 9 with angle
on plate on the top right side. Secure with adjustment
screw.
4. Adjust restrictor according to examples in Figure 10.
5. Install logs following log installation instructions.
