i picked up some 8" chimney sections, they are Selkirk Metalbestos stainless class A piping, i have some straight sections and a T with plug, nothing else.

i put one section thru my foundation wall to the basement and now i need to make a support bracket for the T and then stack that goes up the side of my house.

if i make a bracket with angle iron then bolt the the foundation what anchor plate should i use, this one shown here?

Buy the correct components. Dont try to reinvent the wheel all of the stuff you need is available. And if you dont use the right stuff it wont meet code and shouldnt pass any inspection.
 
The bottom of the tee should be capped to seal and for cleanout. Selkirk makes a support bracket and wall bands.

yes it has that, i am putting the T below ground level in a window well since my house is poorly designed.

i was under the impression that the outer section of the T had to lock into the anchor plate then the plug goes into the center 8" pipe so i can clean it out as needed.
 
No need. The anchor plate shown is for attachment to a masonry structure to transition from masonry to metal chimney. Here are instructions for using the wall bracket.

ok thank you, my issue is the limited ground clearance so unless i dig a hole 2ft deep i can't use the braces that go under the T.

if i grab this and then run the angle iron pieces up would that be an issue?

The Type HT Wall Support Kit has been tested for use fully enclosed and has been designed in 5", 6", 7" and 8" sizes to carry up to 60' of height.
They have one for larger sizes also , 10", 12" and 14", and will support 40' of chimney.
The Wall Support is intended for use with the Insulated Tee as an interior or exterior support where the chimney has a lateral connection. It is also useful where the pipe connection passes through a combustible interior or exterior wall. Braces may be fastened to the wall either above or below the plate for chimneys which penetrate through the wall.
