ney to use as a thimble. Purchase a wall
spacer, trim collar and wall band that
are manufactured to fit the chimney
section you purchase. Cut out a 14 ½"
(368mm) diameter opening in the wall.
It may be necessary to cut wall studs
and install a header and sill frame to
maintain the wall support. The hole in
the chimney must have at least a 6"
(152mm) diameter fire clay liner or
equivalent, secured with refractory mor-
tar. If it is necessary to cut a hole in the
chimney liner, use extreme care to keep
it from shattering.
The safety features of this system are
the 2" (50mm) air space between the
chimney section and combustible wall
and the 1" (25mm) air space around the
chimney connector as it passes through
the chimney section to the chimney. The
location of the opening through the wall
to the chimney must leave a minimum
18" (457mm) vertical clearance be-
tween the connector pipe and the ceil-
ing, to prevent the ceiling from catching
fire when using single wall pipe.
First, build the frame for the thimble,
making sure that it is no smaller than
14½" (368mm) diameter, which will
maintain a 2" (50mm) air space around	FIGURE 12
