Installing wood stove thimble

The criteria for installing the Insulated Wall Thimble is in accordance with the N. Wall thimbles are an important component for venting stoves and other appliances since the thimble will insulate between the pipe and the wall, to protect drywall, wood frames and other materials from high temperatures and risk of fires.

Insulated Wall Thimbles are designed so the thimble assembly will reduce the minimum 18 inch clearance to combustibles, to a minimum of at least 2" clearance. You should pack insulation snugly against the outside box frame of the thimble, but never place insulation into the area within the thimbles's cylinder. But if you are fond of doing DIY projects, and you enjoy it, then I am sure that you can do it perfectly.

LOL I am about to install a wood stove in the concrete basement of our house. The house is older and has a double chimney from the old coal burning days. The chimneys are 8" round terra-cotta lined that are in the center of the house. The boot does not need any sealant where it meets the stovepipe. The thimble enters the flue inside the chimney and is designed to accommodate a stovepipe.

If the homeowner no longer uses the wood-burning stove, the pipe is removed, and the thimble port is covered over by drywall, wallpaper, or a pie-plate cover. You can use double wall or single wall connector pipe between the ceiling and stove depending on your application and clearances. Once to the ceiling you must transition to class A expensive stainless material and go all the way to the chimney cap with it. Vaulted and Cathedral Ceilings A vaulted ceiling slopes upward from both sides to form a peak.

On the other hand, cathedral ceilings are defined by their symmetry: they feature two equal sloping sides that meet at a higher point in the middle and often conform to the shape of the roof. Venting is an important component of all stoves. And wood, gas, and pellet stoves have different venting systems. For instance, wood-burning stoves will always be vented through the roof of your house, but pellet-burning stoves can be vented vertically through the roof, or horizontally through the wall to the outdoors.
