Clearance Requirements
WARNING:
Minimum Clearances to Combustible Materials
• Always maintain required
clearances (air spaces) to nearby combustibles
to prevent fire hazard. Do not fill air spaces with
insulation. All venting components must
maintain a 1" (25mm) clearance to combustible
materials. Maintain a 6” (150mm) clearance
when using single wall pipe. Maintain a 2”
(51mm) clearance when venting straight off the
rear.
Measure side clearances as shown in Figures 3, 4 and
5 from the outer edge of the cast iron stove top.
Measure rear clearances from the outermost surface of
the steel rear skirt.
The PDV20 and SDVR heaters are approved for
installation into an alcove constructed of combustible
materials to the dimensions and clearances shown on
the next page.
• The gas appliance and vent system must be
vented directly to the outside of the building
and never be attached to a chimney serving a
separate solid fuel or gas-burning appliance.
The same clearances apply in a standard parallel
installation.
• Refer to the manufacturer's instructions
included with the venting system for complete
installation procedures.

Vertical Termination
Vent Termination Clearances
A vertical vent system must terminate no less than 8'
(2.44m) and no more than 40’ (12m) above the appli-
ance flue collar. A 2¹⁄₄" restrictor plate (supplied) must
be used (where specified) in all vertically terminated
vent systems. NOTE: The restrictor plate supplied
with the vertical termination should be discarded.
Install restrictor plate supplied with stove directly
at stove outlet. A vertically terminated vent system
must also conform to the following criteria:
When planning the installation, consider the location of
the vent terminal and clearances. Some of the most
common clearances to keep in mind are shown in
Figure 9.
Important: All vent clearances must be maintained.
Check your vent termination clearances against
Figures 9 and 10 .
The vent should be placed so that people cannot be
burned by accidentally touching the vent surfaces
when the stove is operating.
•
•
•
•
No more than three 90° elbows may be used.
90° elbow off back must be transition elbow.
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.
The vent termination should be located where it cannot
be damaged by such things as automobile doors, lawn
mowers or snowblowers and it should be located away
from areas where it could become blocked by snow,
etc.
Termination height must conform to roof clearance as
specified in Figure 9.

NOTE: Dry fit the Starter Pipe and first vent pipe
sections to the flue collar to align and drill pilot
holes as necessary, while the firebox is on the
shipping pallet. You will not be able to drill holes
after the firebox is installed.
Fan Kit Contents:
• #10 x 1/2" phillips screws, 6
• Control Knob
• Retainer Collar
• Snapstat
• Snapstat Bracket
Also, you will find it easiest to connect the
flexible or hard gas supply pipe to the burner
control valve before installing the firebox into the
shell.
• Blower Assembly w/ Rheostat Control
NOTE: The Rheostat Assembly and the Snapstat
Assembly are not used on RF Models.
For RF Models only: Follow Step 3, then run the
spliced female leads to the front of the stove and attach
to PC board of RF valve. Then follow Step 5.
1. Remove any cardboard packing material from the
top of the firebox. Double-check to be sure the sides
align at 90° to the rear shroud.
NOTE: The firebox is shipped with three bolts and
spacers on the bottom to prevent the assembly on
the bottom of the firebox from being damaged. The
two front bolts should be removed after installation
using a 7/16” wrench.
1. Attach the Snapstat to the Bracket using two #10 x
1/2" phillips sheet metal screws as shown in Figure
18.
2. Locate and remove the 1/4-20 x 3/8" hex head bolt
installed in the hole in the right rear ledge of the
firebox. (Fig. 17) Use that bolt to secure the Snapstat
Bracket to the firebox. The mounting hole is slotted
to allow you to adjust the bracket so that its head
makes contact with the firebox surface. (Fig. 17)
2. Lift the firebox assembly and slide it back into
position in the shell. The base of the firebox should
rest on the side support shelves as in Figure 16.
A pair of steel tabs will engage a mating rib on the
top side of the outer edges of the firebox base as
shown in Figure 16. Properly positioned, the firebox
will be level and locked in place. If not, adjust the
levelling screw in the foot of each leg as needed.
3. Attach the Fan to the firebox by engaging the upper
flange of the fan skirt under the lower edge of the
Shroud and secure the skirt with the four screws
provided with the kit. (Figs. 18, 19)

NOTE: Before troubleshooting the gas control system, be sure the external gas shutoff is in the “ON” position.
WARNING: REMOVE THE GLASS PANEL BEFORE PERFORMING ANY GAS CONTROL SERVICE WORK.
SYMPTOM
POSSIBLE CAUSES
CORRECTIVE ACTION
1. Spark ignitor will
not light
A. Defective or misaligned
electrode at the pilot
Using a match, light pilot. If pilot lights, turn off pilot and
push the ignitor button again. If pilot will not light, check
gap at electrode and pilot - it should be 1/8” to have a
strong spark.
B. Defective ignitor (push
button)
Push piezo ignitor button. Check for spark at electrode
and pilot. If there is no spark at the pilot, and electrode
wire is properly connected, replace ignitor.
A. Defective pilot generator
(thermocouple)
2. Pilot will not stay lit
after carefully
Check pilot flame. It must impinge on the thermocouple
or thermopile. NOTE: This pilot burner assembly uses
both a thermocouple and a thermopile. The thermo-
couple operates the pilot flame. Tighten the thermo-
couple. The thermopile operates the main valve (ON and
OFF). Clean and/or adjust pilot for maximum flame
impingement on thermocouple and thermopile.
following the
lighting instructions
B. Defective automatic valve
operator
Turn valve knob to ‘Pilot’. Maintain flow to pilot; millivolt
meter should read greater than 10mV. If the reading is
okay and the pilot does not stay on, replace the gas
valve. NOTE: An interrupter block (not supplied) must be
used to conduct this test.
A. Remote switch or wires
defective
Check rocker switch and wires for proper connection.
Use jumper wires across terminals at rocker switch. If
burner lights, replace rocker switch. If okay, use jumper
wires across rocker switch wires at the valve; if burner
lights, wires are faulty or connections are bad.
3. Pilot lights, no gas
to burner, valve
knob ON, remote
switch (rocker
switch) ON
B. Thermopile may not gener-
ate sufficient voltage
1. Be sure wire connections from thermopile at gas valve
terminals are tight and thermopile is fully inserted into
pilot bracket.
2. One of the rocker switch wires may be grounded.
Remove rocker switch wires from valve terminals. If
burner now stays lit, trace rocker switch wiring from
ground. It may be grounded to the appliance or the
gas supply line.
3. Check the thermopile with a millivolt meter. Take
reading at thermopile (“TP” and “TP/TH”) terminals of
gas valve. Should read 325 millivolts minimum while
holding valve knob depressed in PILOT position and
with rocker switch OFF. Replace faulty thermopile if
reading is below specified minimum.
C. Plugged burner orifice
Check burner orifices for debris, and remove.
D. Defective automatic valve
operator
Turn knob to ON, place rocker switch to ON, millivolt
meter should read greater than 10 mV. If the reading is
okay and the burner does not light, replace the valve.
A. Pilot flame may be too low
or high, (blowing or lifting),
causing the pilot to drop out
B. Possible blockage of the
vent terminal
4. Frequent pilot
outage
Clean and/or adjust pilot flame for maximum flame
impingement on thermocouple and thermopile.
Check the vent terminal for blockage.

Maintenance
Your PDV20 and SDVR Gas Heaters will provide years
of service with minimal upkeep. The following proce-
CAUTION
TURN THE PILOT OFF BEFORE PAINTING.
ALLOW THE HEATER TO COOL COMPLETELY
BEFORE PAINTING.
dures will help ensure that your stove continues to
function properly.
Annual System Inspection
Have the entire heater and venting system inspected
annually by a qualified gas technician. Replace any
worn or broken parts.
Cleaning the Glass
WARNING: Let the glass cool completely before
attempting to clean.
Logset and Burner
It will be necessary to clean the glass periodically.
During start-up, condensation, which is normal, forms
on the inside of the glass and causes lint, dust and
other airborne particles to cling to the glass surface.
Also initial paint curing may deposit a slight film on the
glass. It is therefore recommended that the glass be
cleaned two or three times with a non-ammonia house-
hold cleaner and warm water (we recommend gas
fireplace glass cleaner). After that the glass should be
cleaned two or three times during each heating season
depending on the circumstances present.
Cleaning and Inspection
Cleanliness is critical to the proper function of the
heater. The logset and burner must all be kept free of
dust and unobstructed by debris. Inspect these areas
before each use and clean as necessary.
1. Turn the burner OFF and let the heater cool com-
pletely before cleaning.
2. Lift the Stove Front up and then swing the bottom
out to disengage it from the heater shell. (Fig. 77)
3. Carefully remove the glass and frame assembly and
place it out of the way on a flat, padded surface
such as a counter protected by a towel.
Clean glass after first two weeks of
operation.
4. Carefully inspect the Logs for damage. Contact your
local dealer if any damage is evident. DO NOT
Glass Replacement
OPERATE THE HEATER WITH DAMAGED LOGS.
Replace glass only with Vermont Castings approved
parts. Refer to page 41 for Replacement Parts. Refer to
Figure 78 and previous instructions for removal of the
damaged glass frame.
5. Use a soft bristled brush to sweep dust or debris
from the Logs, Pilot and Burner. Use care as the
logs are fragile and susceptible to damage.
6. Replace the glass panel and frame assembly.
7. Replace the Stove Front.
Care of Cast Iron
An occasional dusting with a dry rag will help keep the
painted surfaces looking new. Use high-temperature
stove paints, available through your local dealer, to
touch-up areas as needed. Clean areas to be painted
with a wire brush and be sure to cover the logs, burner
and valve assembly, glass and frame assembly. Apply
the paint sparingly; two light coats of paint will give
better results than a single heavy coat.
Clean porcelain enamel surfaces with a soft, damp
cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaning agents. If neces-
sary, use only a cleaning agent formulated especially
for use on porcelain enamel surfaces.

Vermont Castings Pinnacle & Stardance Direct Vent - Rear Vent Gas Heaters
Inspect the Vent System Annually
Have the vent system inspected annually by a qualified
technician. Shut off the main gas supply before inspect-
ing the system. Both the inner exhaust pipe and the
outer combustion supply pipe must be checked to
confirm that they are unblocked and in good condition.
Check the Gas Flame Regularly
To ensure that the stove is operating properly, check
ST391
the flames periodically to confirm that they match
Fig. 78 Release the latches to release the glass frame.
Figures 80-81. The flames will be blue during the first
15-20 minutes of operation, and will gradually turn to
yellow after that.
Gasket Replacement
The PDV20 and SDVR Gas Heaters use a ‘tadpole’
type gasket to seal between the glass panel and the
frame. In time, this gasket can become brittle and
compressed and should be replaced. New gasket is
available from your dealer.
Do not use your stove if the flame pattern differs from
that shown here. Contact your Vermont Castings dealer
or a qualified technician for help.
Shut off the gas supply and allow the stove to cool.
Wear safety goggles and a dust mask.
1. Remove the Front, Glass Frame and Glass Panel.
(Figs. 77 & 78) Remove the old gasket. Use a razor
blade to separate the glass and gasket from the
frame, and to clean the glass of any remaining
cement or bits of gasket. Use a cold chisel if neces-
sary.
2. Determine the correct length of gasket by laying it
out around the edge of the glass. Allow an extra 1 -
2” (25-50mm). Mark the spot to be cut. Use a utility
knife.
3. Starting on a long edge, remove about 6” of the
protective paper strip and apply the flat adhesive
face of the gasket around the outside-facing edge of
the panel. Continue around the panel, applying
about 6” at a time and being careful to not stretch
the material. Do not overlap the gasket ends. (Fig.
79)
Red Glow
LG140
Fig. 80 Correct flame pattern.
4. Apply a thin bead of high temperature silicone
rubber sealant along the inside corner of the glass
frame, all around the perimeter. Place the flat
gasketed side of the glass panel back into the steel
frame. Pinch the rounded inside-facing gasket
material to bulk it up.
5. Replace the glass frame and front panel as previ-
ously described.

snapstat that turns power on and off as the firebox
temperature rises above and falls below a preset
temperature. A rheostat provides for variable fan
speeds.
