I'm looking to hook up a Super 27 to the chimney in our home. It is a brick chimney that has been lined with 6" flex pipe and comes in through the basement wall. The previous owner removed the old stove and left us with just the thimble protruding though the wall. I have been told by our local dealer that it is a Selkirk style – 2” wall (6” inner dia. + 2” each side for 10” total) thimble. I'll be using double wall stove pipe due to clearance issues.

The issue I'm having is finding pieces to connect the double wall to the chimney cleanly with a proper looking surround. I've attached a couple pictures to show what I'm dealing with. The inner pipe is 6" with a total 10" outside diameter as mentioned before. The entire piece protrudes from the wall about 3 1/4" and is surrounded by cement within the wall so cannot be moved.

I've seen something like a masonry adapter that could make the connection, but would still leave me with the 3 1/4" unfinished gap to the wall. Or something like a Duratech finishing collar, but the 6" model doesn't have the 10" outside diameter that I need. Neither would provide me with the wall plate/surround that I'd like to have either.

Any suggestions on what I could/should be using to make the connection?


Thanks in advance for any advice.

Your double-wall connector pipe should attach right onto the protruding section in the middle
of your wall pass-through.
If you can't come up with a manufactured trim piece, why not make one yourself?
A small piece of aluminum sheet can be cut with snips, filed smooth & painted black.
Any gaps between the pass-through & the trim ring can be sealed with black RTV.
The exposed surfaces of the pass-through can also be painted with Stove Bright Hi
Temp black paint. Take your time & you'll have a good looking finished install.
 
Is this class A pipe running right through the drywall? It doesn't appear to have a wall thimble that would enforce the 2" clearance requirement. How close is this pipe to studs in the wall and the outside sheething?

I don't know what it is it doesn't look like class a really. And how ever it was connected before wasn't right as evidenced by the creosote on the flat face. What ever it is you need to find out what part it is and who made it so you can check the specs and make sure you have proper clearance to combustibles.
 
Yeah, I was wondering if it is triple wall. Still needs proper clearance regardless.
