Thimble bracket

[dapperistdan]

I just wanted to check and see if this seemed legit. When we originally broke through the masonry to pipe into the flue, we broke too big of a hole. The thimble didnt have any masonry directly behind it to attach to, so we made a bracket. The bracket is still behind the insulation of the thimble and is not in direct contact with the stove pipe.

Again, just looking for peace of mind since i deviated from the install instructions.

So long as you didn't take any masonry down that would put you inside of a clearance restriction, I see no problems with it. Looks like a sound connection from where I'm sitting.

here is a better look at the hole inself...

i guess my concern was that maybe is an issue since the masonry isnt a perfect circle and doesnt completely contour the outlet of the thimble...there is a few inch gap

To me, being solid, is being solid. Whether it is mounted directly to masonry or to a bracket as you have, I just can't see there being an issue so long as the extra masonry didn't open things up to framing somewhere back there behind the insulated thimble.

nope, only framing is what you see in photos

thanks for response, appreciate it
