Insulation, use roxul as it doesn't burn. You never want un insulated voids left in outside walls in a cold climate its a recipe for mold and condensation. Also seal the thimble plates inside and out well.

What is wrong with the pipe they sent, was it the wrong size?

 

[jerl77]

So fill the void in the wall with that insulation right ?
I ordered a 36 inch pipe sent a 24 inch

Not sure what that is, it would need to be rated as non combustible.

Not sure what that is, I have never used it. It would need to be rated as non combustible.

The data sheet on that product indicated it will burn if exposed to open flame or sparks. Now if there was open flame or sparks outside the thimble you got bigger problems anyhow. Not sure how to advise about using this. Personally I would go with the Roxul.

 

[jerl77]

Ok
I will get the roxul
That was easy lol
Thanks for all your help you guys and girls are making this very easy for me

 

[jerl77]

Any tricks for the thimble
Mounting on the outside
I have vinyl siding and was going to cut it and install j channel to make it look nice

 

[ohbix]

That's how mine is; J channel around the thimble, sealed w/ silicone. What stove do you have?

[rich2500]

perfect reason to get that puppy hooked up and running

 

[jerl77]

Ok thought the wall

 

[jerl77]

What do is seal this with

 

[Lake Girl]

My thimble came with a gasket. Since that is too old now, used numerous wraps of the high temp silicone tape to close off the opening. I didn't want to use RTV as I didn't want that much difficulty if I need to pull it.

 

[jerl77]

Ok here we go
All turned out well
Fired it up
