See photo at link above. I have a six-inch rigid tee I need to connect to double wall stove pipe. The outside diameter of the tee is slightly larger than 6". Is there an adapter I need to use to securely attach this to the double wall pipe?

Note that I will likely shorten the length of the tee coming out of the thimble so I can make the connection at the tee.
 
What brand of double wall? And why do you want double wall pipe for the inside connector pipe?
 
I have looked at simpson dura vent pipe.

I am looking at double wall because the pipe will only be 16-inches below a new drywall ceiling in my basement. Is single wall an option? I know it is a lot cheaper.

My setup will be small Englander stove to 6" stove pipe to 5.5" flex liner in 21' exterior stone chimney.
 
Could I install a shield around the single wall pipe since my clearance to drywall ceiling is less than 18"? If so, can someone recommend a shielding method for the horizontal run of pipe?
 
It appears the nominal pipe diameter of the masonry adapter (see link above) is 6". The same as my tee pipe I want to connect to. (male to male connection).
I am thinking of ordering this and crimping one pipe to make the connection inside my wall thimble.

Bad idea, good idea, alternatives?
