Ok, for the life of me, i cant figure this thing out. I have a Selkirk wall support bracket from Menards and i don't know how to attach the insulated tee to it. I've read everything and watched videos, but no one shows how to attach the tee to it. I've tried every which way, and just don't get it. If anyone has any experience and willing to help, i'd really appreciate it. Thanks!

Got a picture? The tee support is different from the wall bracket support. It create a triangle braced shelf with a hole in it for the cleanout. Here is a diagram from their install manual. Click to enlarge.

I used the same chimney. It's been a while, but I don't think the tee actually "attaches" to the support. IIRC, the adapter ring, which twists into the bottom of the tee, has a lip that sticks down through the support plate to keep it from sliding off to the side, other than that it's gravity until you get the rest of the chimney up. Once the wall braces are attached to the pipe, nothing should be able to go anywhere. I could be wrong, like I said, it's been a while...
Great, thanks! That's the way i assembled it, but can't believe it just sits there! Do i seal it somehow? Gravity is great and all, but i wish it was locked and 100% attached. Also, this is an interior installation where the support is enclosed...this really makes me nervous!
Just to clarify - and using terms from above diagram...
Tee attaches to adapter ring.
Tee (with adapter ring attached) sits on top of support plate.
Adapter ring (attached to tee) penetrates support plate and terminates into insulated tee plug... But not attached.
Insulated tee plug is attached to the bottom of support plate.
The chimney, tee, and adapter ring (all attached together) do not attach to support plate or anything else. It just "nests".
Correct?
