THIMBLE INSTALLATION
Catalytic stove installations that require a connection from the stove through a combustible wall to a masonry or
prefabricated chimney require either a UL Listed thimble (wall penetration assemblies) or the methods outlined in the
National Fire Association Standard 211, which is outlined below. It is important that the homeowner or installer be well
versed in these variations and understands which one is best suited for their application. The following diagrams provide
examples and explanations of chimney connector systems and clearances from combustible walls for residential heating
appliances. During any installation, it is important to consult with the local code authority or an installation professional to
ensure your installation is properly done. The following additional requirements will apply to FIGURE 31 through
