The predrilled holes in
the top of each section of
chimney connector serve
as guides when you drill 3
mm (1/8”) holes in the bot-

Secure the chimney
connector to the chimney.
Instructions for various
installations follow.
•
Be sure the installed
stove and chimney con-
nector are correct distanc-
es from nearby combus-
tible material.
NoTE:
Special slip pipes and thimble sleeves that form
telescoping joints between sections of chimney con-
nector are available to simplify installations. They often
eliminate the need to cut individual connector sections.
Consult your local dealer about these special pieces.
Securing the Single-wall Connector
to a prefabricated Chimney
Follow the installation instructions of the chimney
manufacturer exactly as you install the chimney. The
manufacturer of the chimney will supply the acces-
sories to support the chimney, either from the roof of
the house, at the ceiling of the room where the stove is
installed, or from an exterior wall.
Special adapters are available from your local dealer
to make the connection between the prefabricated
chimney and the chimney connector. The top of such
adapters attach directly to the chimney or to the chim-
ney’s ceiling support package, while the bottom of the
adapter is screwed to the chimney connector.
These adapters are designed so the top end will fit
outside the inner wall of the chimney, and the bottom
end will fit inside the first section of chimney connector.
When assembled in this way, any soot or creosote fall-
ing from the inner walls of the chimney will stay inside
the chimney connector.
Securing the Single-wall Connector
to a Masonry Chimney
Both freestanding masonry chimneys and fireplace
masonry chimneys may be used for installation of your
Resolute Acclaim.
Freestanding installations
If the chimney connector must pass through a com-
bustible wall to reach the chimney, follow the recom-
mendations 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 securely
cemented 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. (Fig. 5)

A special piece called the “thimble sleeve,” slightly
smaller in diameter than standard connector 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
