Hi all,
I've done quite a bit of research but there is still one area that I can't seem to get worked out, hopefully someone can help me here.
I'm going to install a free standing wood stove, with an insulated liner(6") through an interior masonry chimney. I get how to attach the T snout onto the liner etc. there is nothing in the chimney at this point, and there is no hole in it yet, so I'm going to have to make a hole in it to pass into my living room.
It will just be a brick chimney wall with maybe some decorative stone/rock mortared to it once I am done. Clearance to combustibles is about 2feet, so that should not present any big issues.
Currently I'm looking to a duraflex liner that connects to duravent DVL pipe.
Do I mortar the T-snout into the chimney wall? Or do I attach the T-snout onto a thimble like this one

And mortar this first thimble sleeve in place ( looks like this thimble attaches to the T, and not that the pipe passes through it.
OR do I mortar in place in the hole that I create the white part to this insul-flue thimble
http://www.chimneylinerdepot.com/st...in-Thimble-Only-(no-cover-assembly)/1999.html
To have the Tsnout pass inside it( i don't see how I would have enough room to attach a DVL pipe to the T with a thimble like this and connection would then be inside the thimble)
With the chimney wall only being about 4" thick and the completed pass though maximum 5-6" it looks like overkill for my situation
It all looks a lot different from the installed pictures that I have seen here, but without any part numbers I have no clue exectly what everyone has installed.
So please, I am open to suggestions, help me wrap my head around this please.
