Wall thimble stub

[DavidGP]

Hi, first post here I tried searching the forum for an answer but couldnt find anything.

I'm curently installing a wood stove in my basement throught a concrete wall. The instruction mention that the pipe stub from the T must extend at least 3" into the room. However if I do that I'm going to end up with a black ring surounding the pipe, a 3" of class A SS pipe going then a black adapter to connect to the double wall pipe.

I was wondering what was the purpose of the 3" stub and what could be done to cover it. The interior wall is going to be finished so, aestheticly speaking it looks like crap...was hoping the pipes would be all black...I can't belive I'm the first one to have this issue...

Oh and the pipes are all made from supervent, couldnt find anything on their website

Thanks!

Can’t you spray paint the stainless stub?

Guess I didnt think of that one still wondering the whole purpose of the stub though...

Can’t you spray paint the stainless stub?

Actually I'm pretty sure the paint wont stick to the SS without some kind of primer, not sure of how the finished product will look like. Anybody ever tried this?
