I was wondering if anybody could post some pics of how they finnish off the wall thimble on the Vinal Siding outside? I remember seeing some pics that looked good and did a search but can't find them now. I Finally got a hole through the 14 inch stone wall. Them old house walls made of the flat stone are a lot stronger then I would have thought. I started from the inside and worked my way out. Made it as far as the siding and decided to stop since we have been getting rain all weekend.
Anyways any pics of how you finnished of the thimble on the outside would be appericated.
Thanks
 
With vinyl siding you can do it the "right way" with J Channel or just keep your clearance to combustibles and put the thimble over the siding and use silicone. Sorry no pictures.

Here's mine. The J channel was not available locally in colors. Sealed with RTV silicone.

Mine is the same as kt1i but I ran my outside air supply hose through the thimble as well instead of having a 2nd hole in the wall.
