Securing the Single-wall connector to a 

Masonry chimney

Both freestanding masonry  chimneys and fireplace 

masonry chimneys may be used for your installation. 

Freestanding installations 

If the chimney connector must pass through a combus-

tible wall to reach the chimney, follow the recommenda-

tions in the Wall Pass-Through section that follows.  
The opening through the chimney wall to the flue 

(the “breech”) must be lined with either a ceramic or 

metal cylinder, called the “thimble”, which is cemented 

securely in place. Most chimney breeches incorporate 

thimbles, but the fit must be snug and the joint between 

the thimble and the chimney wall must be cemented 

firmly.
A special piece called the “thimble sleeve,” slightly 

smaller in diameter than standard connectors and 

most thimbles, will facilitate the removal of the chimney 

connector system for inspection and cleaning. Thimble 

sleeves should be available from your local dealer.
To install a thimble sleeve, slide it into the breech until 

it is flush with the inner flue wall. Do not extend it into 

the actual flue passage, as this could interfere with the 

draft.

  The thimble, made of either ceramic or metal, must be 

cemented securely in place.

The thimble sleeve should protrude 1-2” (25-50mm) into 

the room. (Fig. 6) Use furnace cement and thin gasket-

ing to seal the sleeve in place in the thimble.  Secure 

the chimney connector to the outer end of the sleeve 

with sheet metal screws.
Without a thimble, a suitable length of chimney con-

nector can be extended through the breech to the inner 

face of the flue liner, and cemented securely in place.  

Additional pieces of connector are then attached with 

sheet metal screws.  

Fireplace installations

The chimney connector may be connected to the 

chimney above the fireplace opening or through the 

fireplace.

above the Fireplace

The Encore may be connected to a chimney above 

a fireplace opening. (Fig. 7) In such installations, the 

stove is positioned on the hearth in front of the fireplace 

and the chimney connector rises from the stove top and 

then angles ninety degrees back into the chimney. The 

chimney liner should extend to the point at which the 

chimney connector enters the chimney.  
If the chimney connector from your installation enters 

the chimney above a fireplace, follow all the guidelines 

mentioned above for freestanding installations. In addi-

tion, give special consideration to the following points:

• 

Check the clearance between the stove and the 

chimney connector, and any combustible trim or the 

mantel. Use the necessary combination of mantel, trim, 

and connector heat shields to achieve the required 

clearances.

• 

Check the clearance between the chimney con-

nector and the ceiling. If no heat shields are used, the 

clearance should be at least 610 mm (24”). To find out 

how much this clearance may be reduced with heat 

shields, refer to the clearance chart on Page 12.
