1.Use a minimum
2.Use a solid insulated listed
3.Use a 10" diameter ventilated thimble made of at least 24 gauge(0.024") steel having two 1" air channels. The ventilated thimble must be separated from combustible materials by a minimum of 6" glass fiber insulation. The opening in the combustible wall shall be covered and the thimble supported with sheet steel supports which are at least 24 gauge (0.024") in thickness. The sheet steel supports shall be securely fastened to wall surfaces on all sides and shall be sized to fit and hold the chimney section. Fasteners used to secure chimney sections shall not penetrate chimney flue liner. See Part C of Figure 8.
4.Use an 8" inside diameter solid insulated listed
5.A listed
Additional requirements pertaining to Figure 8 and the above wall
1.Insulation material used as part of wall
2.All clearances and thicknesses are minimums: larger clearances and thickness are acceptable.
3.A chimney thimble, as shown for 3" and 4" above (Parts C and D respectively of Figure 8) shall be for types "3" and 4" connections to facilitate removal of the chimney connector for cleaning. The chimney thimble shall be of ASTM C315 fireclay with 5/8" minimum wall thickness , or material or equivalent durability. The inside diameter of the thimble shall be sized for the proper snug fit of a 6" diameter chimney connector pipe. The thimble shall be installed without damage to the chimney flue. The thimble shall extend through the chimney wall to, but not beyond, the inner surface of the chimney flue and shall be permanently cemented in place with high temperature cement.
4.A chimney connector to a masonry chimney, except for 2" above (Part B of Figure 8), shall extend through the wall pass through system to the inner face of the chimney flue, but not beyond. It does not have to be fastened in place so long as it cannot accidently be pulled out of the chimney or shoved into the chimney flue. If fasteners are used to secure the chimney connector to a masonry chimney, the fasteners shall not penetrate the chimney flue liner.
5.Any material used to close up any opening for the connector shall be noncombustible.
