NEED HELP! Duraplus triple wall, Through-the-wall installation!

[Killerz6]

Hi everyone, I have a duraplus triple wall chimney kit I got from a guy near me.

The problem I am having is with the wall thimble. The thimble its self is too thick for my wall. It hangs either 2" inside the room or 2" outside the home.

My question is how do I compensate for the 2" of wall thickness I am missing? Do I cut some of the length of the wall thimble off each piece so it will fit flush to the wall? Or do I use some kind of a non combustable spacer to take up the 2" of wall I am lacking.

I need an answer pretty quickly because I have a giant hole in my wall where the thimble is supposed to go and some serious rains about to be here.

Anyone with knowledge on this PLEASE HELP ME!

No option to change out the wall thimble for one the appropriate depth?

Not really. There's no difference in any of the thimbles that I've looked at. Besides that measurement.

I'm pretty sure it's an 8" wall thimble that just fits the triple wall pipe. The 6" wall thimble would fit the wall perfectly but will not fit the chimney pipe.

So that's all that's stopping me from finishing my chimney today

Could PM Jags or webfish as they appear to be on now. They are wood stove owners so would have a better answer...

You simply trim the thimble down to fit your wall. They will fit a 2x8 wall, its intended to be trimmed down to fit narrower walls.

Thanks webby, that was my inclination but unsure on product listing in terms of safety if it is altered...
