installation of a wall thimble.  A wall thimble is not required for installations through 
concrete walls.  
 

 

 
 

3-  You must first secure the wall thimble into the exterior wall surface. Then, do the 

same inside and fasten the trim plate. 

 

                    

              

              

 

 
 

4-  Then, from outside the building,  slide a short chimney length (attached to the tee) 

through the wall thimble. The chimney must extend at least 3 inches into the living 
space where it attaches to the stove pipe.
